First time using it as a daily desktop driver, but not the first time using it. I've had various smaller exposures over the past five or so years, like messing around on a Pi, setting up some Foundry servers, a NAS, etc.

I'm still using manjaro since making that comment so that's another week or whatever it's been, but I've also been installing some others in other places. I've installed Ubuntu briefly in a VM, I have used Debian a little bit more in a VM, I put KDE Neon on my laptop, etc.

My honest and unpopular opinion (at least here on Lemmy) is that Linux is still not really feasible for the average user, whatever the flavour. But, I'm enjoying it when I'm not banging my head against a wall figuring out why something doesn't work.

I'm disappointed that certain things just simply will not work. For example I have Lian li fans, and while there are a few options I've found for controlling Lian li stuff on Linux, none of them work with my particular models. I have a fingerprint reader which even though I got fprint working, my particular model doesn't play nicely with Linux or arch specifically I don't remember which, either way it's effectively unusable.

My partner, who I am also slowly convincing to give it a shot and is dual booting, has even more quirks and niche-ish hardware that just works on Windows, but is proving to be a real pain in the ass on Linux, like a pre-amp, our mic setup for streaming, a stream deck with specific integrations, a Wacom tablet.
