Convenience probably.

SUSE -> Mageia -> Ubuntu -> Manjaro -> Mint -> Manjaro. Been on Manjaro for 4 years now.

I am German and I use the German keyboard layout…

I also have a tech-savy mom - and she’s using Linux Mint too. :)

Honestly, besides backupping my data from Windows and choosing a distro that fit my needs, I didn’t really do any preparation.

Ubuntu Mono. Though I don’t use Ubuntu.

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.

Blocking mobile browser users will be the beginning of the end. Very few casual read-only users will download the app just to read some content on Reddit. Reddit is highly ranked in search engines and the kind of users that flock into Reddit via Google and the likes for sure make up a decent percentage (perhaps the majority?) of traffic on Reddit. I for sure hope they will enforce this policy, that will only increase Reddit’s downfall.

4% is still massive.

Snap is easily available on other distros as well. If anything, they want to lock you into their proprietary store.
