To those of you still running Windows, I have one question:

WHY?!

Dump Microsoft. Switch to Linux.

WHY?!

Dump Microsoft. Switch to Linux.
—————

Can’t work using an Linux which has ABSOLUTELY no decent support for any applications only available on Windows or MacOS

This includes the Adobe suite, Autodesk 3D content creation apps, video editing, game engines, digital audio workstations (stuff I use everyday for content creation) and about 99.9% of all games (for pleasure)

I’ve spent several weeks working on switching. Complications arose:

Took too much effort to install ExpressVPN on Manjaro so switched to Pop OS.

Then, I needed to find something to replace Macrium Reflect for bare metal restore. Found RescueZilla. Worked great.

Got steam games to work after enabling Proton.

After much work I received a security update and Steel Division 2 stopped working correctly.

Main point: Windows works with such ease while Linux requires much labor for me and then when I get it just right BOOM.
