I too, am super brave for switching to Linux from Windows 11.
Joking aside, I love it. My relatively new laptop runs so much smoother on it. W11 always was doing something in the background and making my fan blast even when I wasn’t using it. That’s all gone and it’s a much happier device.
My printer works, my wacom intous tablet works, all my steam games so far work (I haven’t played every single one, but the ones I have played are fine).
Honestly, there was some things I had to troubleshoot at the beginning. I just asked AI and it gave me the terminal commands that I needed to get it done.
My wife bought a laptop around when Win11 was just coming out. It has a Celeron based CPU but 16GB of RAM which is decent enough. After trying the “upgrade” to Win11 it ran so poorly as to basically be unusable.
My wife got a newer laptop and the old one sat in a drawer for a year until I threw Debian on it, which runs better than the original win10. Since it’s a lower power CPU the battery lasts a long time too, making it a good browsing/coding device

10/10 would recommend… if you’re brave.
