What about Linux is hard for you? I switched and barely noticed any difference, honestly. Even installing it was easy... Even my printer works and I was expecting to have to go back to wires for that lol.

My problems that I haven’t managed to fix/are unfixable on Linux Mint.

-unfixable - no fractional UI resizing that works. If I use the experimental UI sizing it starts tearing and also locks 60hz. I could resize stuff manually but then some other stuff would still be wrong size.

-fixable but not with my skill - audio randomly starts playing static and then is gone until next restart. Messed around with googling and AI-ing for a few hours but still broken. No idea if it has something to do with Dolby Atmos.

I would be really glad if tomorrow these problems would randomly be gone. I actually love how snappy and clean everything is.

Same here, a few years ago I made the switch and never regretted it (from Mac, not Windows though) ;)

It's not perfect, but neither was macOS (or Windows) so I'm OK with that.
