I've been liking it! So far, I've tried Mint, Zorin, Bazzite, Endeavour and Cachy. All were pretty nice, but I think Cachy is my favorite so far, even if my main machine is running Bazzite atm (I just didn't have the time to swap the distro yet).

And doing stuff like running Android Apps via Waydroid (I ran Revanced that way for a while because I'm just not used to watching Youtube in a browser).
I'm also starting to get used to installing things via the software center instead of just googling "Software X download" and clicking on the first .exe file I find (yup, I'm aware of the security implications of that, I just uninstalled the Microsoft store from my Win10 very early on so I never really had a dedicated software store... and was too dumb for things like UnigetUI)

Running Forza Horizon (a historically Xbox-exclusive game that's still heavily integrated with Windows/Microsoft services) on Linux feels so wrong but it runs flawlessly
Whereas in 21 years on Linux I have tried
