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?

    Made Fedora KDE my only home OS last year. I’m experienced with Linux but did not have to pull out arcane knowledge at all for setting it up. I.e it has been very smooth. The rough edges have been:

    • Slightly worse audio
    • GIFs on Reddit RES don’t always play well
    • Will have to find a web browser based tax software instead of what I’m used to
    • Remapping a key (print screen to right click) has not been easy
    • I miss some features of notepad++ that are missing from Kate.
    • I miss Irfanview image viewer

      Will have to find a web browser based tax software instead of what I’m used to

      I just went to a tax preparer this year. Costs about the same and my 2025 taxes are going to be all sorts of fun because I did fun new taxable things like contract work and a Roth conversion that I need to make sure are accounted for correctly. But yeah I just give them the documents and they file it all for me.

      Right now might be a little late though. Most tax places will already have their clients for 2025 locked in and very little opportunity to take on more clients

      Do you use the built-in tool for remapping keys in KDEs system-settings, or something else?
