@mcc @TomF Purely anecdotal, but I'm a Windows-since-forever user that installed Linux (EndeavourOS) on my laptop about a month back and I was surprised with how well it worked. Funnily enough especially with the lid. I've had trouble with it in Windows having no idea what state it will be in when I open the lid (where I left off, rebooted or fully locked up so I need to hold power). Now it's pretty much always just at login. (Like a MacBook, which also works well in this regard.)
@mcc @TomF I _have_ had hickups in other regards and in general my usage has been more limited than my decades of Windows usage, but so far I'm mostly happy with things.
