Your attitude towards OS is like what you enjoy about car ownership: Linux: you enjoy building cars and maintaining them. Windows: you prefer to spend your time under the hood working on difficult problems. Mac: you just want to drive.
My optimus laptop freezes sometimes when using the nvidia card. Idk why, I should look at the logs sometime to figure out what causes it.
Something else I miss on Linux is a good alterantive to RoyalTS. RDP, SSH, VNC, etc. connectivity manager. Remmina I think is the closest but its not as good.
What is missing? Have you tried https://rustdesk.com?
My employer is an MS shop so needs RDP, and then SSH for the Linux systems I've introduced.
I'm thinking about whonix+qubes... Just because it's the best... https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Qubes/Install
The main problem that I heard is that it is power hungry for some reason
Not enough hymns from God, sadly
The lack of drawing and photo editing software. Krita is nowhere near clip studio paint, darktable in nowhere near light room. I use arch with qtile on my main gaming rig. My surface pro 9 is unfortunately stuck with windows 11.
Surface runs great with fedora and the surface kernel. Unfortunately, the lack of software makes it an expensive tablet/laptop that does nothing special. I could flip the surface and get an IPad pro, but I'm not going the apple route. I've been considering the Samsung Galaxy tabs. Those can run clip studio, concepts and some watered-down lightroom app.
I'm done with Windows myself. The only time I ever touch it is for work when I gave to deal with some of our VMs for Photoshop users
League of Legends being broken every patch (like right now). Or Linux not being the focus of the game devs most of the time. Screen sharing not working on discord. Adobe like apps not working on wine (no I won’t use GIMP. It’s easier for me to boot to windows than to learn the GIMP way)
The discord one is just the discord developers being lazy to be fair. Pretty much everything else has proper wayland screen sharing by now
I need Linux for my work, so it's not really possible to switch.
I do keep a Windows machine for gaming at home though.
Right tool for the job and so on..
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
