Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For me, it's Shared GPU memory.

When I was using Windows, I used Adobe Lightroom with the Negative Lab Pro plugin to digitize my film negatives. I've played around with Darktable, and it does the job, but it's a lot more fiddly, and it discourages me from processing film.

Fusion 360 :(

Yes i know theres wine versions But they just dont work the same. And randomly crash.

Yes i know free cad exists, but it feels so clunky and is so much diffrent than fusion/inventor

If you just want CAD without CAM then the free variant of OnShape is amazing.

Really good image noise reduction software.

That's pretty much the only thing I miss, and I don't miss it enough to suffer through Windows

I missed Odin 3 for a few years until I switched to Graphene and never looked back. In tried the FOSS package it didn't work for me and the documentation was beyond my skills at the time.

I miss the stupid people comradery, sometimes. People act funny when you're a normal stupid person and use Linux without the hoodie and a Matrix screen saver.

Shared memory is basically using your normal RAM as swapspace for your GPU.

I don't necessarily miss it, but the primary reason I can't use Linux as a daily driver at work is because our VPN doesn't work on Linux. So I'd say that. Stupid as fuck that our IT department uses Linux for all of our servers but makes us run Windows.

Do you know what vpn they configurrd that linux can't connect to it?

Just curious

It's a Cisco AnyConnect doodad, but it checks your computer for compliance first before allowing you to connect, so beyond spoofing a valid system, I'm out of luck. And I'm not about to lose my job due to spoofing a windows box, haha.
