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'm perfectly happy using Mint. I'll explore more distros eventually but I miss nothing about Windows

I started using Mint a few months ago, and this is basically my experience as well. On the occasion that I have to use a Windows PC, such as for work, I am just reminded of how awful it is.

Mint+KDE on my daily driver, works great, no complaints after over a year. Plus fun desktop effects!

Just a question: why use KDE on Mint instead of KDE Debian?

Cause I started with Mint and didn't feel a need to fix what wasnt broke

I use KDE Debian on my desktop server
