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?

Doing okay. Switched from MacOS to Linux - Ubuntu and Tuxedo in the past four months. They are great for home use but I am not 100% ready to use them as my work computers. Yet. But hopefully soon. Gaming is great using Tuxedo, although it was a little difficult to install software on the KDE system as I had no real idea what I was doing :)

Something I've found useful is adding flatpak support to the KDE Discover store.

To install Flatpak support in KDE Discover, you need to install the Flatpak backend package. For Ubuntu-based distributions, you can run sudo apt install plasma-discover-backend-flatpak. After installation, restart your system and add the Flathub repository using flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

On a sidenote to that, if you install kde-config-flatpak, it enables a permissions management page in system settings, similar to flatseal I believe. I haven't been able to try it out myself, so I don't know how well it works.
