      It was for me. Been using Windows for 20 years, installed Aurora after all the MS craziness this year and haven’t looked back.

      In my case it’s turned out to be a whole lot better - my laptop runs cooler, battery last about twice as long, and I no longer have any issues with going to sleep when I close the lid.
