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 from Window 10 to Linux Mint about 3 weeks ago so I’d have something familiar to work with.

    Honesty, so far Mint works just like Windows should have worked. I’m surprised at how much stuff has been made automatic and easy for a lifelong windows user. Some specific games have a performance issues, Alt+Tab to switch apps doesn’t work if you are in a full screen application.

    I would encourage anyone on Windows to buy an small drive (I used a 500 GB SSD I got for like 40 bucks) load a Linux distro on it and give it a shot. You probably won’t be back on Windows.

        One screen. It will bring up an application switch widget in the middle of the screen, and I can hold alt and hitting tab to cycle through options, but when I release alt-tab, it does not switch the application.
