Yeah if you have your games on Steam it seems to (mostly) just work. Other services get a bit more janky. Xbox App is, sadly, impossible as far as I can tell.

Made the switch myself about a year ago. Installed 24.04 LTS and it has done very well.

My main issues have been dealing with a few things I run not playing the nicest with ubuntu or when trying to flash ESP8266 or ESP32 boards through the web browser.

Gaming wise everything I have installed via Steam works fine though sometimes needs a reboot.

Overall been happy with it and glad to get off the forced upgrade with bloatware train.

I personally live linix, and I am trying switching over in the house in such a way that the rest of the household can use it with as little issues as possible. That being said, I need to ask for some help with a couple of programs that are vital for us but that I am having a hard time to replace. If anybody has any suggestion for the following I would really be grateful. -fusion 360 -lychee slicer (i can install it but unable to make holes in hollowed out forms) -copy to usb for big files without the system crashing (copy stops)

• printer keeps disappearing after some time.
• label printer setup

I switched to Mint in January and it's been great. Most games just work straight out of Steam. I have Skyrim modded to an insane level and it can be a little finicky but works.

What really cemented it for me was when I wanted to run an old 32-bit weather software package. I decided to try adding it to Steam, and it...just worked. Like native.

Any issues with brand new releases or has all that been figured out?

I remember thinking this same thing until my first fstab issue lol. Joking aside the switch itself is relatively painless, you do sort of have to switch your mind to the Linux way of thinking though. And the Linux way of thinking has to include "something is going to break eventually and I'm going to have to figure out how to fix it"
