Curious on the experiences of those recently migrating to Linux from Windows 10, Intel-based MacOS, etc. How is it being on Linux? Anything surprise or frustrate you?

Going great! Loaded up Fedora on my HP laptop which has given it a new lease on life. Only downside is that it won't just boot straight into the OS, otherwise GRUB freezes (not dual booting, secure boot is off), so I have to spam F9 on startup and select linux to boot into, then it works fine.

Started self-hosting some things on an old desktop I had lying around, and am planning on moving from iPhone to Graphene with my next phone

    That would annoy me so much that I would switch bootloader or find a cmdline argument to fix it

    I've been trying, but haven't found anything. When I first turned off secure boot, it worked great, but stopped working again once I updated

    Maybe it works if you add custom secure boot keys and sign your bootloader?
