Honestly, besides backupping my data from Windows and choosing a distro that fit my needs, I didn’t really do any preparation.
Cinnamon! Although I want to give KDE another chance to become my default DE.
I own a Tuxedo notebook as well as a Tuxedo desktop PC. I can confirm they are of great quality.
At approximately 11 or 12 years I started with SUSE Linux 10.0 on KDE. Got it from a DVD included in a computer magazine. Felt truly great, although I fully made the switch only 10 years later. Also in 2005, I fiddled around with Knoppix.
4% is still massive.
Snap is easily available on other distros as well. If anything, they want to lock you into their proprietary store.
SUSE -> Mageia -> Ubuntu -> Manjaro -> Mint -> Manjaro. Been on Manjaro for 4 years now.
