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?

How was switching up the phone? I’ve been on linux for 10 years, but I still use android because I’ve found the switch via the phone to be far more intimidating.
I actually cut out all distractions besides Lemmy, so I reduced phone usage by 2/3rds in the process.
I went form an iPhone 15 to a Pixel 6 that I got for free and it does everything I need. I am not a slave to my phone anymore, I just use it as a tool when actually needed - not as as a distraction machine.
If you already use Android, Graphene is even easier than switching to Linux. It’s a very well-polished, well documented, and just a dead-ass simple process.
For an extra answer, GrapheneOS is based on stock Android, in contrast to the Linux-phone options they mentioned. Since it’s only (officially) supported on Pixel phones and focuses on security and privacy more than other customization, it’s actually the most stable and easy transition I’ve made, coming from an Android phone already. Installer is super easy compared to other phone OSs I’ve tried, you can do it by connecting the phone to a computer, opening https://grapheneos.org/install/web , and just pressing buttons to do all the normally-complicated steps. I was very impressed with that.
