I like the writing style of It's Foss. They don't make there articles dry and the tone is always positive and honest.

I think the Linux switch will heavily depend on your work flow and whether you like to tinker at all. I think It's Foss is right to say that for some Windows is not an option. People like me use a lot of Linux tools and apps.

I agree that the tone of their articles helps push the quality above some other tech blogs. At the very least they're sincere!

Windows is no longer an option for me either — I had made a conscious effort to use FLOSS apps even before switching, so there wasn't much holding me back. And, as you say, once I'd started modifying system settings to disable Microsoft telemetry, I was already at Linux tinkerer levels...
