  • A recent migration from Windows 10

    From Wes M@3:633/10 to All on Sunday, May 17, 2026 00:50:01
    Debian team,
    I just wanted to send a quick "thank you". I recently converted over to
    Linux from Windows 10. After trying a few different distributions, I
    ultimately landed on Debian with the KDE Plasma environment. I am
    constantly amazed at how EASY it has been for me to use my computer with
    this operating system! Updating is SO easy! My programs run so efficiently! Everything just... WORKS. It's so refreshing... So THANK YOU! You guys and girls ROCK!

    I am very pleased to hear that.

    The best way of offering thanks is to tell your friends and to offer to hold their hand when they upgrade from Windows to Debian.
