More granular data:
I'm very particular about the way I use things, and am usually at least a little bit scared of change. I'd say I had a longer adjustment period to Mastodon (two weeks) than to Linux Mint (three days).
Sure, I'd love to have all of my years of customisations, but I also don't miss the accrued clutter? In many ways it just feels fresher.

And holy shit, my not entirely new PC feels brand new! Everything is so fast!

@sinituulia Welcome to the #Linux family!

I was nervous about getting my massive, ancient Ricoh laser printer going when I moved to #LinuxMint a few years ago. I was shocked when it *just worked,* even with the extra hardware modules installed. IPP for the win!

My 20 year old Canon document scanner works reasonably well with the provided scan app. Can't say the same for #Windows11 thanks to the scanner relying on the outdated proprietary Canon drivers under Windows.
