I've been using stock Ubuntu 18 on my laptop (zenbook) for a year and have had pretty much 0 issues. I consider myself a bit lucky in that though. The driver experience is actually better then on windows, on windows I had some random crashes which I have never had since switching.
I just love the feeling that its my computer again, I haven't felt that for 10 years prior. I actually like customizing the interface and stuff like that, like I used to do in the win2k days. And having a real package manager integrated in the OS is just glorious. My only problem is not being able to run Photoshop, I can't live with Gimp. So I use photopea as a poor substitute.
I grew up on Windows but have been using mac extensively as well. I can never understand window management on mac, but with some gnome extensions (cover flow alt tab, dash-to-panel, arc menu) its just really really solid, I'm so happy to have my own computer again.
If windows and mac continues on the road they are on, I expect linux desktop to get a real boost. I cant stand not being able to shut off annoying stuff like automatic reboots and some photoanalysisd process, I just want to scream.
