I have been living not too far from Lund for 7 years and it's a mixed bag here. Sure in Lund it's full of expats, people are friendly and generally almost everybody speaks English.
But 15km away in the country side it's quite different, here 35% voted for the far right in recent elections. You are clearly not "one of them", you consistently get the cold replies, shit quotes and let's say having a social life for us is not happening where we live (were we work it's much better).
Then yes, we own some land, I can walk 5min to a forest, we have wild animals passing through our garden, we have fiber coming to our living room.
But I wouldn't boast about the weather :)
That said many things are great: administration, school for small children, parental leave, housing is still quite cheap.
And some are just odd, like the healthcare system (lots of gatekeeping, slow, so so quality).
At this point we want to leave Sweden, it's not making it for us.
I am swiss, lived there for most of my life but I also lived in France (south and Lyon) and in the UK. I also work remote for a swiss company (have been working remote for the past 15 years).
