I started using Red Hat Linux 9 (pre RHEL) in 2003.
No regrets. Starting that early taught me so much. I don’t look back fondly at the days I spent configuring X, but I don’t regret them.

I have wanted to fully migrate to Linux from Windows for a number of years now, but what prevents me from making the full transition is that… the gaming infrastructure simply isn’t polished. Don’t get me wrong, I think significant leaps and bounds have been made, but it’s not quite there yet - especially with Proton.
As a result, I have established a hybrid approach - I game on Windows, and do development work on Linux or macOS, whenever possible.
How about this: <SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S>
Ah, I should have clarified - my use case is primarily online competitive games, where every iota of performance and reliability is of utmost importance. When they have games like Arma 3, Escape from Tarkov, etc working exactly like Windows native “straight out of the box” with no tweaks or workarounds required, then I’ll consider completely replacing Windows for gaming, too.
Im using an framework 13 with an recent change from Intel to Ryzen 5. I work for nearly 10 years Full time with Linux and only a few things bother me, but these are minor things.
Frameworks own RAM is rather expensive, I got my 64 GB by buying two 32 GB Sticks.
My games work natively or through WINE and i use lutris to manage them.
Gaming is the only thing I really regret. While Steam, Proton and Wine have done amazingly in getting lots of games working on Linux, there’s still many to go and many issues that arise regularly.
more or less, near 2 years of full Linux (KDE Neon).
Nothing specific to regret about, I can play the few titles, most of them are Win native but Proton does a good job and thankfully to a good hardware I can still play at full quality with playable FPS.
In my opinion, today is more simple to run games Win native and it’s also true that more and more titles are Linux ready…so, I’m quite confident that this will be better in the near future.
For any other tasks, I do 3d graphics and the tools available are good enough to satisfy my needs, so..no…I haven’t any regret. At the moment I’m happy.
Sometimes upgrades makes problems but this is the nature of KDE Neon…probably in the future, when I’ll be more experienced with Linux, I’ll change distro towards something more stable.
