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?

Was playing Valheim with some friends. Tried installing mods on my Linux PC, struggled for two days trying to get anything to work. I just wanted to play, gave up and ran it from my Windows bootup. Vanilla Valheim runs no problem, it's great. I tried using Nexus, Thunderstore, and manual installs. Even installed Gale to give that a try, but it didn't make any sense. No real documentation for using it available.

Will say that I can run Ark Survival Ascended with mods no problem, but adding mods off of CurseForge is built into the game.

I've been using Lutris with my Gog games, which has been great. Using it for boomer shooter mods.

Heard of it, will try to see what it looks like. Maybe over this coming weekend if I have time. No GOG games, but assuming it's a general launcher?
