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 think we both chose wrong with Ubuntu. Nothing but problems as well but people I know on bazzite have never once complained about things breaking the way it does for me on Ubuntu.

I figured Ubuntu would be good for someone who doesn't know much about Linux in general. What frustrates me is that you can download stuff from the snap store and it still doesn't work.

Oh then you haven't even had it long enough to hate it cause an update has wiped out wifi for some reason.
But yeah actually the fricking snap store sucks more day to day. I have no idea what it does if I have to use command line the whole time I haven't found out how to update apps otherwise.

But no, so, I think we are both like 10+ years behind "usable" linux. Cause I am seeing so many people talk about mint or bazzite. I think we are just like on the jalopy of Linux. Old, and gets the job done but not the new hotness.
