I am in the process of transitioning now from OSX to Ubuntu Budgie on a laptop and here are my takeaways so far: - Cloud reliance has been key. GSuite and Dropbox have kept me from having to install much on the Budgie system. - Budget a half day on StackOverflow, etc. for problems you may have getting Dropbox, Bluetooth and some other items working seamlessly with accessories... although some of this is unique to Budgie. - Don't expect much interoperability with iOS products. - Key apps I use are available natively, eg. Slack and Atom. I'm still going back and forth some and find the desktop/UI customization available in Budgie has increased my productivity and decreased strain. I'm missing hazel, bitbar and geektool applications quite a bit and haven't found a suitable replacement that is as supported and easy to configure as those apps. I can replicate most of the functionality with Python, conky, etc... but I haven't the time to do so.
