Linux works for roughly 80% of what I do. The BIG missing piece is audio production. The software is mostly okay, it's the actual audio system that's the problem. Audio on Linux sucks big floppy donkey dicks. Yes, I know all about JACK (complicated and never works the way you think it should), RT kernels, Pipewire, etc. It's all terrible.

Sound check (although a little quiet).

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 and this was an issue on every Linux install I've had (Endeavour, Arch, and now Debian). I know it isn't a hardware issue because when I first installed Endeavour, I was dual booting with Win11 and it was, no joke, capable of easily twice the volume as Endeavour, and that was even after maxing everything out in Alsamixer. Really not sure what's going on there. I've been incredibly lucky with audio on Linux the entire time I've used it, this is the one black spot on my record.

I agree, and I love it. Sure there are some iffy aspects of it that may give trouble, but for the most part a lot of those problems I've experienced can easily be solved by a quick search or are "would be nice but i'm sure it will work soon" features, and I can't even think of any recent examples with the latter. So I'm left with a great learning experience to how my computer works, another win.

Linux has also taught me to make good references. You get a very different experience to your computer than with a regular windows machine that 'works'.

I like to point out how I can update installed apps with a simple command (e.g., sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade).

No bloat, no ads, open source and the communities are just amazing and helpful.

What's there not to like?

I don't think I could ever use windows again, and it makes me proud.
