Curious on the experiences of those recently migrating to Linux from Windows 10, Intel-based MacOS, etc. How is it being on Linux? Anything surprise or frustrate you?

    Linux is great so far. It’s been a bit of a trick learning the ins and outs, but now it’s getting close to a year I’ve ironed out most of the kinks and have a stable functional computer.

      See this is the problem. You shouldn’t have to learn an operating system to have a stable and functional computer.

        I chose to use an unstable distro both for more performance and to force some learning. Most of my problems were honestly either software not built to run on Linux, or the fact I didn’t disable my integrated graphics in the BIOS.

        Like things could be better, but I think it’s pretty good. Windows would have wiped a significant amount of customisation within a year, and that’s my baseline.
