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?

have you tried audacious?

winamp/wacup(better) runs fine on wine afaik

Yeah, I tried audacious. But I use a lot of plugins to run weird formats, so it doesn't cover my usage. Neither does VLC. I'm using Wine to listen to music for now... but not nearly as much as I used to on Windows.

I've got a bug in Wine that the entire desktop UI locks up on first launch. Not to mention opening a second song opens a second Wine. Not optimal.

I've searched through logs and journalctl to see if there is a reason for the lockup, but best I can find is that my Intel A580 GPU isn't playing nice. I'm using Mint (not Manjaro) and nothing in my logs indicates that Intel is the issue, though.
