- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

Gone from Windows to Ubuntu based to Fedora based to finally an Arch based distro with CachyOS over the last couple of years and I have never once regretted making the jump.
Especially since I still have a windows install that I use for a couple of very specific uses that I can't do on Linux and it's a pain in the proverbial every single time.
Finally cutting the cord on Windows due to finally breaking free from the last bits of software keeping you there feels so good.
When those gaps in when you boot into that Windows partition get further and further apart until the day it finally happens. The day that you no longer remember the last time you booted into that Windows machine. The day you can finally let yourself be free.
For me the last pieces were Lightroom and Fusion360.
Did you find a good alternative to fusion?
FreeCAD since it's gone to 1.0 has been my replacement and it's been quite nice to work with
It's got a bit of a learning curve because of some different workflow things but all in all I've been enjoying it
That's good to hear. I'm hoping freeCAD has a Renaissance similar to blender did the last few years that makes it competitive with the popular closed source tools, but it sounds like it's getting there.
