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?

I built a new desktop PC with an AMD CPU and GPU, then installed Fedora on it. I use the KDE plasma desktop. I did mess up at first. I downloaded the workstation version which had gnome by default and had to switch so some defaults are a bit wonky.

Overall it has been great. In contrast, my laptop is still on Windows. I upgraded that to 11 and immediately saw a performance drop at the very next reboot. It's a joke.

The only surprise so far was when a bad kernel update made my network flaky for about a week. The price of living with a semi stable distro.

Of problems, my only one is that only one of my screens will sleep properly. I'm hoping that gets resolved when they replace ssdm.
