I made the switch around this time last year and haven’t looked back. A few things have taken a bit of effort to figure out, but largely it has been a breeze. I should’ve done this many years earlier.

I’m closing on my six months anniversary of not booting into windows. I wish I had converted earlier as well.
Not having to deal with the whack a mole of problems that was windows is so very lovely.
A few ongoing bothersome problems that honestly amuse me, and I’m far less stressed when something does go wrong that I can’t fix.
Haven’t had a game (so far) that I couldn’t get running, and really only miss one program that I could probably run under Linux if I really wanted to get dirty.
One ongoing problem for some of my games and it’s so random that after spending an hour trying to fix it I decided I didn’t care enough, because I wasn’t having the crashes I used to under windows. (The game freezes, and will stay stuck until having tabbed out to Steam (and only Stream), tabbing to anything else the game stays hung. Then some process comes along that I don’t see, frees everything and I’m back to playing happily.)
I also have one game that behaves weirdly until I either tab back and forth, or (more consistently) move it to another workspace and back with super+shift+up.
It seems like a windows manager/focus issue.
I’d gotten so used to crashes that started with a lockup under windows, leading to my poor char’s death, or save corruption…
The freeze and then resume feels like winning the lottery. :D
