This is great! I also recently moved to Linux as my main OS (using all of the open-source engineering applications to get work done), and it's really exciting. Once you get familiar with the new workflow everything just becomes second nature, and it's sort of reassuring to know that I won't just lose access to software I need if I miss a subscription or don't have internet to check my license.

I was already getting fed up with Windows a few years ago and dove into it without any idea, other than some quick KZfaq tutorials. I've ran through all types of distros, from Linux Mint to Gentoo, but I've learned it's mostly about the package manager and the availability of packages that you should consider as the reason why a distro matters to you. Currently, on Fedora 40 on my desktop and I'm enjoying it but considering giving NixOS another shot, though perhaps I'll try on my laptop instead.

@xeoknight845 11 күн бұрын

I recommend any of the UniversalBlue Fedora based distros, they have been extremely helpful in their Discord with any problems people have and in general their stuff has been user-friendly and simple (since they are based on the pretty user-friendly and simple Fedora after all). Linux gaming on a niche handheld? No problem, they have a very secure and featureful gaming distro that works great with both my desktop computer and a bunch of nicher handhelds. They also have some good distros aimed at general usage

Not in the current stable release but some non-destructive adjustments like that are coming in 2.99/3.0. But you’ll probably need a combo of Inkscape + Gimp (and maybe some Krita mixed in) to replace Photoshop. It’s a tall task but the reward of being free of that subscription is worth it for me

@@LinuxCreativeProject Reaper is highly customizable, including the look and feel of the entire interface. There is a paid and free version. The only difference is the bag screen when you launch the program. I have the paid version, but to each his own. You may also want to look at Zorin OS. Once again, there are paid and free versions. The difference is how much free software is loaded during installation, and how many of the user interfaces come with Core vs Pro. One cool thing is Zorin 17 and up allow you to directly install most Windows programs from their .exe or .msi files. If it can, it will suggest Linux alternatives, or you can just go ahead and install the Windows application. If they work, this is a good alternative for that rare Windows program that just doesn’t exist in the Linux universe.
