Only problem I have with Linux is it not working on my hardware. Windows of course works fine. So many stories of a Thinkpad T480 and Linux being such a dream, until you try it and it doesn't work.
OH! And the constant nagging for a password, literally to do anything at all. Open a browser, enter password. Install an app, enter a password. Uninstall an app, enter a password. Wake from sleep, enter a password. I thought windows was bad, I had no idea how much better it was until I tried Linux.
Wait, does it not work on your hardware, or are you using it frequently enough to be bothered by passwords?
It mostly works. I have it set to dual boot and spend more time in Linux than in windows, forcing myself to use it. I also have a desktop that I use for windows on.
