Linux

Nothing!!!

There occasional hiccups with Linux that are sometimes by design, like Flatpaks not having access to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. This makes some things need minor workarounds where they wouldn't otherwise, because there aren't enough people on Linux to make these workarounds the norm. I don't really mind, but it is nice not having to do anything like that on macOS (although there are other issues there, like not having access to /usr/bin in the first place :P)

At the end of the day, though, the development workarounds necessary on Windows are absolutely insane. Even as well documented as they are, I am very glad I don't need to touch Windows ever again because they still suck.

@ani honestly temple os just does what I need my computer to do nothing else can come close to it. I have tryed everything.

Drivers for the Tobii eye tracker do not officially exist.

Just want to turn my laptop on and not have to wonder if everything will work.

Not have to perpetually debug small issues like “why is there no sound? Oh it’s playing out of a different audio device”

Not have to worry about installing software and where it comes from, and in which format.

I just want shit to work, day in, day out. And I’m fully aware that I’d probably have these issues, plus others, with osx or windows.

if you're referring to this templos; it's still linux

Not enough hymns from God, sadly

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.

Well for the most part Wayland ruined my experience but I'm willing to try again, just not in near future. (was using Fedore 38 KDE for 2months).

And for the rest, I assumed that most things that work with AMD on Windows will work also on Linux since I had that experience on PoPOS with NVIDIA about 4y ago.

Mainly GPU accelerated rendering in Blender which requires the AMD proprietary drivers and does not seem to work with MESA.

KDenlive only supports the AMD x264 encoder and not HEVC and Davinci Resolve has no support for AMD encoders on Linux. They all work fine with NVIDIAs NVENC though.

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.

Ever since I tried windows 11 on a laptop given to me I've been using Linux exclusively. It's been about a year now and I thought I would have issues with games, but every game I actually play runs just fine, and usually better than on Windows.

I don't see myself going back at all. Even for my college classes for windows exclusive software (just requirements for degree) I use the provided cloud vm from the school. Every time I go into the VM it just reminds me more how I don't want to go back to Windows.

At least on pretty much all distros, you can customize your desktop however you want. Can't even move the taskbar anymore on Windows 11.

Edit - this addition:

I've even built my latest PC with the express goal of never running Windows and I'm extremely happy with it.

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.

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
