If you’re already with Linux, this is not for you. This is for people who’re indecisive or been contemplating for long about whether to make that jump.

For me, it’s a matter of a few things. I’m on a Windows 10 version that guarantees me until 2032 of support. That means I would effectively skip Windows 11, like I already mostly have and potentially skip Windows 12 if that turns out to be a shitty choice. I’d be coming in right in time for whatever Microslop shits out for Win13.

Should Windows 13 suck, I think that’s a consideration. Another consideration is when Valve keeps dropping support for certain Windows versions of Steam. Because I know for a fact they will drop Windows 10 support entirely one day and then Windows 11. I believe it is really stupid that they do this.

By the time my Windows 10 version expires, I’d be getting older, which means I’ll probably care less and less about computer-related things. Going to Linux wouldn’t be a problem since I’d be doing barebones things like browsing and checking e-mail.

And I’d also hope that by 2032, Linux would have better development like easier access to proprietary drivers and software among other things.

    My desktop PC is already running on Linux. I’ve been holding onto my Macbook because I was under the impression that neither Photoshop or DaVinvi Resolve work on Linux but I believe this to no longer be the case so I’ll either switch to Framework at some point or I just go back to using only desktop PC as I don’t exactly take advantage of my laptop’s portability anyway.

      Photoshop works with some fuckery (or so I’ve heard), but I would honestly recommend trying Krita before trying to make Photoshop work on Linux.

      DaVinci Resolve has native Linux support nowadays.

      Davinci works, tho it tends to be buggy and requires some tinkering to get it working. Really hit and miss. When it comes to photoshop your best bet is running it through wine

        Resolve is officially supported on Linux and it’s worked for me fine. The way you’re putting it makes it sound like it only barely works with some hacking or something and that is just not true.
