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?

Went with Linux Mint back in July, set up a dual boot in case I'd need Windows for anything. Figured something or other wouldn't work through wine or some such. Never have booted back to Windows since.

I think the only issue I've had is that my 8BitDo controller won't work via Bluetooth, but it works fine via USB. (Other Bluetooth devices have been fine, not that I have many.)
