I’ve found it easier to use KDE to switch from windows as it feels like a more complete ecosystem that I’m familiar with. And it is pretty great, until I install one bad graphics driver and then I’m stuck in a terminal only session until I can fix it. At least windows has safe mode.
Meanwhile KDE/Fedora gave me the most issues on both my laptop and desktop.
The UI drops to 1hz refresh rate for some reason.
My mouse cursor theme was causing issues with Firefox. My mouse would just disappear when using Firefox.
Konsole and Dolphin kept opening in a tiny window, where I had to expand it every time to see the text. No amount of saving preferences would fix it.
The logout button hard locked my PC. Only way to fix it was to reboot my PC with the power button.
Steam constantly locked up, even when trying to play games rated GOLD on Protondb.
Davinci resolve refused to launch. Kept giving me errors.
I then gave up. Most of the issues never got fixed, and the ones that I did manage to fix took HOURS of Googling. These are all such basic features/tasks that literally work out of the box on Windows/Mac.
