God I hope there will be a good enough solution for professional audio stuff when Win 10 is done. This and when will the new proper CAD software.

It sucks ass, but I don't see how one will be able to change to Linux in those spaces on a professional level. All my private stuff is on Linux systems, though.

what are the opinions on Bazzite, Garuda, Trisquel? are these ideal for those coming from windows?

I’ll go Linux when I don’t need any more windows based software, and there’s been almost 0 progress made in that sector in the last 5 years.

Between games that don’t run on Linux (Apex, CoD, any other shooter) and professional tools such as Lightroom and photoshop, there’s no way to switch to Linux without needing to boot back to windows multiple times per day.

Damn. My 10 year old HP all in one is gonna be bricked? Damn shame

What flavor do you recommend?

Ughh my RDP into work is the only reason I have a minimal windows install :/

I love mint, but I can't get work's IT support people to go near it (needs the preshared key and some settings to get their Sharepoint VPN working). It grates having to boot into windows!

Really hope more people at work ask for Linux support and I don't need 11, but not holding my breath. :)

Weird everyone suggests Mint, when it's way less user friendly then KDE Fedora. I mean, I guess on old hardware Mint is good, but anything newer (like the last 4-5 years) Fedora is pretty much set and forget.

Same with gaming, Bazzite is a WHOLE lot better than Mint.

Nah, not for me. I've known to use Windows OSes beyond their EOL support. I remember having still been on Windows XP while everyone else went to Vista and then to Win7. When I got to Win8, it was only because I bought another computer from a friend that had it, that was how I got upgraded.

I don't abide by when Microsoft wants me to upgrade by, if they can pull their heads out of their asses (unlikely) for Windows 12, then I might consider.
