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?

Switched to Linux around the time Windows 11 was first announced to be a mandatory update, and all the bullshit about security.
I started out with Ubuntu, now I’ve been using Bazzite for over a year.
The programs I use, Gimp, Krita, Blender3D, Audacity, OBS, all have Linux native versions, and are generally part of the FOSS community anyway. Well, except for Audacity right now…
So my artistic work hasn’t been hindered in the least.
Games are a slightly different story. I switched from an nVidia GTX 1060 6GB to an Intel Arc A770. Overall a significant upgrade, but there are issues. Some I had with Blender3D not recognising the card (something that was largely solved by switching distro). Other problems still persist, specifically with Intel Arc, Linux, and UE5.
UE5 is an absolute hateable bitch and some combination of Linux and Intel Arc provides no end of trouble. I still can’t get certain games to run (i.e. Oblivion Remastered).
