In the 1990s, I transitioned from Windows to Linux as my primary operating system. Since then, Linux has consistently exhibited advancements in the desktop and software space, whereas Windows and Mac operating systems appear to have experienced a decline in terms of user experience and functionality.

As someone regularly using Arch, Ubuntu, MacOS and Windows I agree.

The advances Linux has made, especially in the last few years is just amazing. I can run the majority of my games through Proton, there are even some preconfigured packages with Illustrator and Photoshop CC that Adobe doesn‘t seem to care about at all.

Sometimes I like sitting in my Unix-based ivory tower, but then I remember my daily driver uses macOS and that it’s only a matter of time before they employ something similar/worse.

When the inevitable inevitably evits, the toughest choice for me will be fedora vs tumbleweed.

Fedora + snapper. If you want Arch's AUR, then Fedora + snapper + Arch distrobox.

Yuuup, never switching to Windows 11 Windows 10 till something doesn't work, them back to Linux

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Sounds to me like you should skip a step there

Yeah yeah, I'm sure it has gotten easier but I last used Linux well before Proton and I have an NVIDIA card and I remember all too well how that worked back in the day. Long story short it's too much trouble until I actually have to change something anyways.

Oh yeah, also I have an HDR gsync display and good grief I can't wait for those to be fully supported cross platform.

It's not going to get better. I nuked 10 and switched to Linux permanently around the Windows 11 launch. My only regret is not switching sooner, like around Windows 8 times.
