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?

Set up dual boot with Pop! OS to give it a try and overall my experience is pretty positive.
There are a few things that are bothering me. For example, any time the system wakes from sleep, Firefox can no longer load new pages. Anything that was open prior to sleep works until I attempt to open anything new in that tab, and any new tab just refuses to do anything at all
I also miss HDR when I’m gaming. I ran cyberpunk for about a week in Linux and was pleasantly surprised that it ran just fine. Then I had to hit into windows for something work related and launched the game there after I was done… HDR makes a huge impact with my monitor and I didn’t realize how much it did until it was gone.
I was never one for HDR so I never even paid attention when I bought my monitor, switched to Bazzite and was surprised KDE supports HDR.
Firefox is still an issue on Bazzite, but PopOS came with some really weird sleep issues where it would sometimes even require a good kernel kill. That may have been something with having installed for an Nvidia card and changing to AMD.
It isn’t super smooth to configure yet, but it should be possible to use HDR. Have you tried that?
KDE Plasma has HDR support. You can check if your monitor is supported by booting from a cutting edge KDE distro like Fedora KDE.
