Install Linux already, just get it over with.

My understanding is that it is working much better now than a few months ago. I haven’t actually put it to the test yet, but it is on my list of things to try once I have time to set up my index again.

Literally one of the very few things keeping me with a Windows partition, though it doesn’t get used very often

I have it somewhat working on Nobara after SteamVR updated a few weeks back. It works, but is rather unstable and you got to reboot any time it craps out. 6/10 technically functional.

Yea I fucked around a lot to make it work, Nobara is usually the most stable one to get vr working but valve keeps pushing out updates that completely fucks up the vr launch process. The other big issue is asynchronous reprojection missing.

People usually don’t use linux because or app compatibility ik wine exists but it just doesn’t not work with all apps

Most apps have open source versions which work better anyway. I’ve been on a Linux desktop literally for the past 20+ years now, never looked back

To really switch to Linux people need to accept that for a good experience you may need to switch off some software to alternative software.
This wasn’t a big deal for me personally and I’m happy I use more open source software now, it can be a bigger issue especially if you need specific tools for work.

I stopped using the word “alternative” as it implies it maybe be less good. I just say “open source” now.
In reality, open source software almost always is a better product as it’s designed by people wanting it, not by a bunch of managers wanting more money directing a bunch of developers who just want their salary.
Also: a lot of the mainstream software has Linux clients, if you look for them
I’ve been on Linux desktop and server for over 20 years now, reaching 25. Never looked back, never will

Yes, install Linux and the end up using O365 in the cloud anyways 🤡
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 days ago
I do exactly that, yes. Unfortunately I my company we have to use the msoffice shit, so I use the online version which is as hilariously bad as one would expect. Same for teams which is just a sad shitshow
Say about Google what you want, but at least the google drive tools work well.
In any case, what is your point?

I’m still learning but it’s so much less aggressive in Linux land.
