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 switched to Nobara in June 2025. Had everything working pretty quickly. Biggest downside for me was with my mouse. I use a g600 and while logitechs software sucks, I could atleast get it to swap profiles when I swap apps. Piper works okay, I just need to set time aside to figure out a solution for me. I did have some issues with Nobara's updater, which led me to swap to CachyOS. Worked almost flawlessly out of the box, had to do some minor tinkering. Now that I've figured it out though, I don't think I could ever go back to Nobara. I love the aur too much.
