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?

About a year ago, I installed kubuntu on a laptop that couldn’t officially support windows 11. So far, I’ve only had minor annoyances.
I had a program that wouldn’t work when I first switched, despite being supported. I installed MakeMKV from the built-in repository, and it wouldn’t detect my optical drive. I installed from a separate repo, and it still wouldn’t work. I compiled it from source, and I don’t think it even launched anymore. Then one day, while randomly flailing, some combination of uninstalling, reinstalling, and random commands I found online made it work for no reason I could discern. I haven’t had a problem with it since.
If my optical drive can’t read a disc, the eject button doesn’t work. I have to either reboot or use the terminal to eject the disc.
Every once in a while, something (presumably Firefox) locks up the entire system. Mouse won’t move, keyboard is unresponsive, the works. It’s a decade-old laptop, but it had a decent processor for the time, and I upgraded the RAM, so that shouldn’t really be happening as often as it does.
