Anyone on the fence about ditching Windows for Linux should just do it. If you pick a popular distro and hardware you'll likely run into only minimal issues, if any. My sound and wifi worked right out of the box even though I built my own system.

Why anyone still puts up with this garbage, abusive, disrespectful OS is beyond me.

There are some videogames I play that only work on Windows :/

ive had to break down and at least have a windows vm. ive picked up making music as a hobby and all the various production and plugin-in software is a no go with linux. Same with VR related things. I would love to get a mac, but unfortunately arm isn't really supported for my other use cases (ros middleware robotics)

I know this isn't the panacea to your problems, but I do a ton of music production and LinVst + Reaper works really well these days.

It is still ultimately a workaround, but it's a possibility.

More people should be contacting developer's support and asking for a Linux release. I find it quite sad that they are still ignoring multi-platform support, especially after MacOS popularity (and powerful M1) and Vulkan API and DXVK on Linux. There is even the Steam on Linux and SteamOS.

Same in my case. I am a music hobbyist, and invested some money in tools that work only on Windows and MacOs. Of course, I could start from scratch, learn a new tool, pick up some compatible vsts, but really it is not the same.

When the day comes when I have no longer the choice (i.e. I am forced to upgrade to windows 11), I may reconsider everything: should I make the switch to MacOs and their closed OS ? Should relearn everything on linux, and loose some of the professional tools that I am using ?
