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.

I kind of miss being able to play League of Legends, bit I guess staying away from that crack is a blessing in disguise.

From macOS: that the basics in UI are so much more consistent and just work. For example shortcuts across apps. This makes me insanely productive.

Not much really. Maybe being able to download random exes for silly shit, but I could always spin up a VM for that.

When I switched, about 23 years ago, I missed Moray - the modeller for POVRay. Now I miss nothing.

I miss my computer's performance being held hostage by "Active Protection" feature of Virus scanner!

OneNote.

That's really all. OneNote, on a windows tablet or foldable device with a proper stylus is the bee's knees for knowledge management.

You probably already know but just in case, xournal++ is a good alternative I've been using. Not quite as feature rich but does all the basics. Linux on a windows tablet is a surprisingly usable experience, if a little janky.
