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?

Mint is fine.

I ended up formatting one of my drives I didn’t mean to.

Ouch. Did that once or twice with really important data, resulting in all-night sessions with photorec/testdisk and secondary and tertiary storage. Files restored, but just the directory structure and filenames missing can be a huge downside.
