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

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.

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
Just need to change electron versions iirc. I’d switch if my friends would too (said every privacy focused person about anything lol)
Why make your app fully functional across all systems when instead you can make some custom mute-mic icons to sell for $120/year?
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..
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.

Wayland, I know that you think some features are insecure and these days I'm actually fine with using it but please give it up

At a certain point I just feel like Linux isn't designed to let me talk to God. All that bloat like networking and hardware drivers get in the way. I need to get away from the CIA mind control and return to something pure and simple. And when I feel that way, Based Terry is always there for me.
RIP Terry Davis, Temple OS forever
