Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)? (lemmy.ca)

I'd like to hear people's journeys and motivations from people who switched over the last few months, and if there were particular challenges that were faced.

Recently started testing Linux:

-laptop: Switched an old X1 Carbon to Linux, but had a lot of problem with the WiFi card (Intel Wireless 7265). It's supposed to be Linux compatible, but it simply doesn't work. After a few days of distro hoping I settled for Kubuntu + a WiFi USB adapter(details here if you're furious: https://sh.itjust.works/post/47717768)

I'm still hoping a future update will make the WiFi card work and that I'll be able to remove the USB WiFi adapter. And I'm wondering if 8GB of RAM is enough for KDE (Mozilla regulatory freeze).

-For my gaming rig, I went dual boot with Bazzite and I'll be upgrading W10 to 11 for the software not Linux compatible.

My main problem (and disappointment) is that my Logitech G915 keyboard and JBL quantum headset cannot use their specific software on Bazzite/Linux. The basic stuff works, but all the keyboard (macro keys,...) And headset (spatial sound control, two sources live mixing,...) Handy advanced features doesn't.
