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?

Windows 10 refugee also. Had some initial difficulties with nvidia driver binaries. Turns out my older GPU driver is unsupported on newer Linux kernels which left me with 2 choices:

Run open source nvidia drivers (nouveau)
Replace my old GPU (GTX760)

I went with option 2 and bought AMD because their drivers are open source. Apart from that I've been very happy on CachyOS, other than the repeated crisis of confidence because I don't know the best - or 'right' - way to do things like installing applications given the multitude of different ways to do so.

It's different, but I'm enjoying the learning experience and there's no way I'm going back. Everything else off so much better, it's like how computers are supposed to be - and used to be before enshittification.
