  I’ve you’ve made the switch, that year was the year of the Linux desktop! ✨

    Maybe the year of the Linux desktop was the journey we met along the way.

  The mistake people make is thinking there will be a year. It could be “the decade of the Linux desktop”, and by that I mean that Apple and Microsoft have to consider them a legitimate competitor in the space because they have gained sufficient “marketshare” (if you can call it that).

  Installed Bazzite yesterday. Not missing a single thing from windows at the moment.

  Go ahead. It’s time.

    I’m missing SOLIDWORKS after converting my last Windows PC to Linux

      Don’t know about your workflow but have you tried FreeCAD? It surely won’t be like Solidworks, but might work for you.

        I’ve been… Struggling with FreeCAD for a while. I really want to support it, you know, open source and all, but it’s really rough. Something that takes 10 minutes in SOLIDWORKS takes at least one hour in FreeCAD, not accounting for crashes, and complexity increases time exponentially.
        Importing and placing .step files is rather difficult, big assemblies tend to degenerate despite careful binding; I try to bind to the origin as much as possible, often sacrificing adaptability, but it still gets messed up after a while.

    Depends on your personal needs, especially as it pertains to software and peripherals but yeah, absolutely, try a LiveUSB, and make sure it works with yours.

    I also installed Bazzite and am missing several things (or at least have to do more research than I’d like to figure them out). Getting my peripherals working, CAD, system backups, pdfs that won’t open from my file server, etc. The more I get into it the more problems I uncover. It has not been the seamless transition that so many make it out to be. It has worked for the games I’ve tried though.

    I too did an install on an old laptop just to check it out. It does throw an overwhelming number of options at you on first start.

  I used to have my living room gaming pc on windows and switched to linux this year and its awesome. Sunshine/moonlight are two programs that allow you to stream games from your pc to any device and it’s such a game changer!

  I’ve switched a few months ago. Plenty of issues, but none of them major enough anymore to go back again. All games I play regularly apart from Assetto Corsa work, and AC should also be fixable as far as I read.

  Just a few days ago I got the first racing sim working properly with my wheel. AC doesn’t start yet and Automobilista 2 does not match the irl steering wheel movements (this also happened on Windows sometimes), but ACC worked without much of an issue.

  For music production I also got most of my setup working. I’m having a lot of issues with opening my old projects, but I wasn’t actively working on them anyways and with some effort I can get them back. Still some issues like the Vital synth CLAP version crashing when the window is opened and the Splice sample thingy not allowing drag and drop, but we’ll get there. For new projects it’s mostly workable.

  Basically everything else I need just works. Games, photography stuff, everyday programs, and obviously my programming stuff because it was already on Linux.

  I use Arch by the way :3
