I’m curious—what’s been your best interaction with Linux? Whether it’s a specific distro, a killer feature, or just a moment when Linux impressed you, I’d love to hear your stories!

Which Linux distro were you using?

What feature or aspect made the experience stand out?

Did it change the way you use Linux or tech in general?

Looking forward to your responses!

    Back in 2010, when compiz effects were still a thing, all my windows were “wobbly” and burned down when closed.

    This alone was enough reason for me to change my main OS to linux.

      Oh man absolutely this…

      For me it was a bit before, must have been 2005 or 2006… Managing to get the drivers working for the graphics card and finally getting Compiz to work and get all the funky window effects… But the best one had to be the cube desktop. Having 4 virtual desktops and turning them around was always awesome.

        Perfect video, this shows all the gimmics that I loved. This cube felt so natural and easy to use, I really liked it.
