Additionally, what changes are necessary for you to be able to use Linux full time?

    Basically photoshop and games. I was dual booting and when I switched computer it wasn’t worth reinstalling because I spent most of my time in windows. This was a long time ago.

    Now that windows is moving into subscription basis I keep thinking I should try getting into linux again but I don’t have the time to fiddle around making stuff work.

      You’ve got a good point regarding Photoshop. Gimp exists on Linux, but I find it immensely powerful but hard to wield.

      Gaming with the Steam Desk has gotten better for Linux with the introduction of Proton and I imagine this’ll only improve.

      You can see if your favorite game is supported with Proton here.

        Thanks!

        Apart from Steam I mostly use consoles for gaming these days so it would only be Photoshop I guess ( I think ms office works on Linux now?). Gimp is cool but it still can’t do everything photoshop does and I find the GUI counterintuitive.

        The one thing I still do use Linux for is booting with a thumbdrive when a computer running Windows has a meltdown.
