Those who've switched to Linux in the last year, how is it going? (libretechni.ca)

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'm a programmer and have switched to NixOS, because I can define all my configurations in code+git repo, which is great. I now have a single repo that has some parts that are shared, and some parts are host-specific (one desktop + 2 laptops, for now), and if I fix some bug (like my Samsung 990 Pro SSDs having Linux issues), I know it'll be permanently fixed, instead of having to re-figure everything out after a reinstallation.

NixOS BTW. We're making it ours.

edit: Steam has been a non-issue, so gaming has been great so far! Not that I've been gaming a ton, but still.

Also, being able to use an LLM to fix stuff for me in my nixcfg repo has been great - I would NOT have been as productive with NixOS had I not have had Codex.
