At this point it's literally just easier to use any Linux distro

Suuure, let me know when Revit, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, OpenRoads Designer are operable and supported on Linux.

I knoooooooow. I know arcgis is working on it at least. I'm a geologist, a ton of our geospatial programs require windows.

But I'm about ready to experiment with a dual joot for my home set up! I really never need windows for that anymore

How did you get arc working on Linux?

See @applebusch@lemmy. world's comment in this same chain.

Not many users need those.

Every person with a job needs some kind of app which doesn't work on Linux. If you're a teen still studying in school, then yeah, use Linux.

I just installed Ubuntu (the more mainstream ofnlinux distros) to replace my windows OS. I was greeted by a cryptic error. After a quick search for some tecno bable, i had to start on safe mode and install the video drivers.

Do you think a "regular user" would be able to do this?

Don't use Ubuntu desktop, it's really buggy and full of snaps. Please try Pop OS and you will come back and say how smooth it is, and how you loved it.

Yeah, i belive you (despite the ltt fiasco), but to say that any distro is ready for the average person is just wrong. Thats just my point

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

but to say that any distro is ready for the average person is just wrong.

Would an average person install Windows on their machine?
