Are there any of you who have recently made the switch to Free Software? What was your experience? Do you miss anything from the non-free software world?
I don't really miss anything. I'm not terribly picky about UI, and I've been doing things this way for about 15 years, so I'm pretty much inured to any pain I might feel from missing any closed source stuff. And frankly, I consider KDE to have a strictly superior user experience to, say, Windows, anyway.
At my day job, though, I am stuck using Windows, Outlook, etc. :-(
My personal preference, I love gnome3 and android. I prefer them over the osx/ios. And the interface on lakka is pretty amazing. I have everything I need, and I haven't looked back.
I certainly own things like video game consoles which aren't OSS, but I like to buy them to hack them, just for fun, I guess. I use tons of non-free stuff like google docs et al, and whatever else is convenient, easy.
Every macbook ive owned has had Linux on it within minutes after removing it from the box.

One big issue is that streaming movies or tv shows might be tough. Some of the decoders used are closed source.
