I dualbooted a lot in the past. Windows 10 with Debian, Linux Mint and tried some different distributions out. I wiped windows of my disk because all of the "you must login", constant message bombing and the horrible UI experience. Combined with the telemetry, spying and the constantly connections being made to Microsoft servers (i viewed wireshark for a while, and even in idle its constantly phoning home). Also tpm and the plan to bring the desktop to the cloud is what I dislike.

Since one year I am more than happy with Debian, customised my desktop with xfce4 and dwm. Feeling good to be free.
