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?

Switched to CachyOS on both my laptop and my gaming computer about three weeks ago. So far extremely happy with it, and positively surprised over the whole experience. Had dabbled a bit with Linux like 10 years ago, and from what I remember from back then, it was not ready for me, or at least much more difficult to set up and use. But now it is ready for daily driving, and I would think it is for the majority of casual computer users. Will not go back, and the next time my girlfriend asks me to "refresh" her constantly slowing laptop, she is in for a small surprise.
