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 Loving Fedora! All hardware works flawlessly. Games play great.I couldn't be happier.

I think this is a perfect storm for microslop, everyone on earth right now has a friend who literally knows everything about linux, and that access to knowledge is making it easier than ever before for people to switch. Id be really scared right now if I was MS.

Yep! They should be terrified. I was still keeping a laptop around with Windows on it to run Vectric Aspire (CNC design software) because I couldn't get it to run on Linux. Proprietary software like that is the anchor keeping many people on Windows. Just last week a new version of Wine was released that runs it perfectly. I now have zero reason to keep any Windows computers around. Wine and Proton are advancing so fast that soon they will run Windows software better than Windows (they already do in a few cases).
