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?

It's probably been more than a year for me now, but I distro hopped a little bit at first due to little things causing issues here and there - but I finally settled down with plain old standard Debian - and I haven't been happier.

I feel like so much hype goes into this distro or that distro, but I've found that Debian just works - while all the others have always required tinkering here and there.

People say Debian is going to be a bit behind on updates, but I haven't had any issues with "older" packages - but ymmv. Granted, I've pretty much quit gaming, and gaming on Linux can obviously cause some headaches, depending on the games you play. Overall, I've been super satisfied ever since I downloaded Debian, especially with the new Trixie launch (Debian 13).

Also, I know AI is a hot topic, but with LLMs these days, it's pretty easy to fix any issues you run into by just pasting any terminal error codes into an LLM. It's far easier than back when you had to search substack and keep troubleshooting issues from people's suggestions online.
