That is a very clever solution. As far as cads go, freecad is powerful but the ux only makes sense to the people who programmed it. Thankdully there is a fork that is working on improving the ux and making it easy and logical to use.

Without rpmfusion drivers my games become slideshows.

Couldn’t even get internet to work… It was nightmare even despite me having grown up with an ATI card.

Tons of people game and those usually always have a nvidia gpu. Might as well get a linux with the drivers preinstalled otherwise your first half hour of linux use will be honestly a bit daunting looking rpmfusion.org and terminal.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 1 day ago:
- Disable secureboot so you don’t have to run a few commands and restart in order to sign keys
- Ensure your drives are formatted to a linux format to reduce headaches with steam libraries
- if the command starts with “sudo(superuser Do)” it’s time to read up on what each part of the command does exactly.
- Linux wants you to mount and unmount your drives(filesystems) manually. Plugging them in won’t instantly allow data transfer.
- Don’t be surprised that linux is a perfectly functional OS with fantastic UX and less day to day hassle and management compared to windows.

I have KDE on my laptop and gnome on my desktop. Beyond basic custiomization like icons, background, loading screen animation and some hot corners and shortcuts I don’t feel the need to touch it and it just works.
I don’t want to reccomend fedora since you need to add your own nvidia drivers. I’m looking to move to bazzite or endevourOS myself. Bazzite seems to be super easy to install and “gaming os” just seems to mean “its linux but steam and nvidia repo is preinstalled”

I’ve had no problems running practically everything I want using fedora. I would reccomend mint, popOS or endeavourOS instead as fedora is far out man and might be too cutting edge with some updates. (meaning you may break something and have to use the inbuilt system of linux to boot to the last working version for a few days)
I cant use autodesk softwares but whatever maya is replaced by blender anyway in gaming industry(I was a professional 3d artist for games), theres myriad of cad software but I switched to freecad (I design parts for cars and 3d print stuff). Clip studio and photoshop was replaced by krita which is insane that it is free as it is the best painting software out there. Photoshop was replaced by gnome and illustrator by inkscape.
Only thing you might miss are some games that specifically banned all linux users but its not like they are the only games to exist. Even tarkov can be played using spt mod which gives you a better experience anyway.
TL;DR: There are better alternatives that fill the same functionality and there are only a few edge cases where there arent. As more people switch to linux that means more donations, more developers making the missing software and more people finding and reporting issues and oversights that need fixing. Its a snowball effect.

I have gnome and KDE fedoras on my two pcs. Gnome is a lot more work to tweak it and add some basic functionality(lmao at enabling right click to create new file). KDE is just fine out of the box. Nobody is forced to tweak KDE, you can if you want to.
KDE also has fun stuff like kde connect that lets you connect your phone to your pc and receive and answer to texts and other notifications, send clipboards and files. Something that is a ridiculous upgrade in QOL and its insane windows does not have it. Gnome also gets it but you need to install extension manager and search for it.

I went fedora which is not a beginner system and even fedora is easier than windows.
Common suggestions are: mint, pop os, endeavourOS. But it doesn’t matter, they are all functional OS that let you do everything.
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 1 day ago:
My only two issues were also steam on ntfs and secureboot, which are easy fixes. I’d like to add “flatpack apps not having access to another drive” as a very common beginner problem I had. Solution was easy: Add the drive in flatpack settings/flatseal or just don’t flatpak.
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 1 day ago:
This is a very valid and smart concern to have. But the scary commands all start with “sudo”, which gives everything you type in root access. Other than that linux is very secure and idiot proof as long as you read what the commands do.

I have fedora. It is fast with updates and it just works. You aren’t pestered constantly with populs to install the updates and then your pc will randomly force restart to do the updates, you are in control. You just get a small popup that there are updates and you can decide what to install and when.
The only Issue I have is sometimes the updates break nvidia drivers. Thankfully linux keeps spare images of the working OS ready. What it means in practise when your games run like ass, you restart and do another restart while the restart is restarting and select an earlier working verison. Then you just use that for a few days. EndeavourOS should be fedora without those problems and iirc the nvidia driver distribution system is in the appstore by default (saves you from running like 3 commands).
Bear in mind if you do not disable secureboot, for every big kernel installed thing you need to manually sign keys which involves running a console command and restarting. I just disabled secureboot.

I tried ubuntu 15 years ago since it was the easiest. It was hell. Now linux is a more functional OS than windows is that asks the user to do even less in order to have everything working.

You will be pleasantly surprised, I hope!

I also went cold turkey to fedora and once I solved my two main problems: disabling secureboot and formatting my steam library to be a linux filesystem, I have a better ux overall. Now I’m looking to move to endeavourOS since fedora is too fast with its updates which breaks nvidia drivers sometimes. (Which just means I restart while the pc is booting and select an earlier version of the OS)

Same here. I do not miss all the shit windows did. Things like:
- starting drivers manually to use graphics tablet
- finding drivers for hardware that work
- random driver crashes for various pieces of hardware I have
- BSODs
- rummaging around settings, configs and regedit to get something to work a bit better
- disabling things you don’t want through regedit or some hidden config
- uninstallable bloatware
- ads everywhere
- super key + type in the program you want to open not working
- messing around with tons of files for old games to work
- going through shady sites to get software
- not having a software center for all your downloads
- needing to install weird programs for sftp support
ironically half these things are what people think is the linux ux. Seriously, windows is just terrible, clunky, buggy and full of things you need to be an advanced user to fix.

My gf is on win 11 and doesn’t uses it mainly for very light gaming and work. I offered it to her once and she doesn’t care.
Her windows is already having fun problems people think only linux has like her not being able to pay except using edge and other small annoyances. I just say “weird, if it works flawless on linux why doesn’t it on windows” every once in a while.

Hdr? I barely know her!

Basically don’t run random sudo(superuser do, root access) commands you find on the internet without reading what the command does from docs or asking ai.
Leaving windows makes you more secure.

Lutris should handle that. Its requires some tinkering as it works differently.
