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 have a dual boot PC with mint and the nvidia drivers crashed the GUI on boot. I haven't resurrected mint yet.

My Surface Book 3 with kubuntu is great but I have to turn it off, sleep will burn up the battery.

You might check if "sleep" means standby, i.e. the RAM remains powered, or hibernation, the RAM is written to disc. Setting up the latter should stop battery draining.
