Generally curious how many people that have clung to Windows largely due to gaming have made the switch or plan to make the switch now that Valve has done such great work with Proton. I know I am certainly considering it and this is the kind of thing that will expedite that.
Bigger thing for me is the Adobe shit. Those fuckers have monopolized creativity tools, and I haven't heard of good alternatives for Linux.
Assuming you've tried Gimp, Krita, Inkscape, Blender, Darktable, what your deal-breakers for these open source tool? Any particular missing features?
Video editing and compositing are the main things. These don't seem to specialize in those tasks, while Adobe offers too many features and has too many quality 3rd party plugins to really be replaced. Even if there were programs that could compete, learning how to do things you know how to do in another program is a pain in the ass. The way programs work together is also a key thing Adobe can offer because they own multiple programs. Ideally there would be common standards to allow programs from different teams to work together just as well, but I've yet to see it.
I've tried a few times in the past but always come crawling back to windows for gaming.
Last time it was terrible performance in TF2 that did it, this was after battling against fstab, drivers for my sound card and GPU. Oh and USB drives also refused to work.
Next PC build I'll give dual booting another shot. Will certainly try to get hardware that others have reported as working.
I still run Ubuntu with Kodi on my HTPC and that's usually good.
Fortnite and Valorant don't work on Linux.
I would rather switch to Linux then miss playing two games.(I understand there's more games that don't work under Linux, but you understand my point). Also theres plenty of games out there.
But that's just me.
As someone that's been gaming under Linix since Steam was released for Linux, these days I'm more surprised when a game doesn't run under Linux
