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’ve tried nobara and I do like it. However for a beginner to Linux, I’d recommend popos or Linux mint.

I feel like a lot of the more gaming oriented distros tend to be less stable and can present obstacles later down the line. Just my personal experience.
