I’m too scared of fucking up the set up by accident and also terminals are scary to me 😔
As an architect, let me know once Linux supports autodesk products and adobe products. Until then I gotta stick with windows.
I have the strong urge to point out it’s the other way around; Adobe and Autodesk have to support Linux. You’re of course right though, with the strong lock-in effect from those big companies it’s almost impossible to switch unless done on company-level. And even then project partners will expect files to be in a specific (proprietary) format most of the time.
It was really disheartening to see Ondsel ES fail, it was a valiant attempt at creating a business-grade Open-Source CAD solution based on FreeCAD. Unfortunately Autodesk’s monopoly extinguished any attempt at finding funding, despite existing interest by those who actually use that stuff (I assume Autodesk is fucking expensive like any monopoly software…). Education, Production, Distribution… those few big companies own and control literally every part. It would probably take both governmental effort as well as some kind of soft UI-standardisation to crack these power structures.
Autodesk I understand but the adobe suite sucks major donkey balls anyway
Unfairly, It doesn’t matter if they suck or not, they have a monopoly. They are the industry standard and in many ways our hands are tied.
shitty anticheat protected games where the dev has specifically chose to block linux?
Linux is a reason to ditch those games
apex legends ditchers represent.
Video games.
video games work pretty well in general
It’s TruckersMP for me because it’s built on .NET libraries and I can’t get truckersmp-cli to load my DLCs for whatever reason :|
Wait, there’s something scrawled on the corner down here in crayon…
i’m lazy
Fusion 360
Cubase
hdr and mod organiser 2
HDR works fine with Plasma (KDE). Regarding MO2, do you think the Nexus Mods app could eventually replace it? They work on a native client that already supports a few games.
I’ve no clue I’m hoping on nma but it still only supports 2 games after all this time and both nmm and vortex were absolutely god awful if vortex worked it’d be fine as that works on Linux apparently but mo2 has a third party wine installer script that kinda works but fomod installers don’t work so it doesn’t really work it’s kinda useless but yeah I’ll just have to wait and see on nma
Literally just steam VR in home streaming is all I need to fully dump windows.
WiVRn / ALVR?
I need to connect to my work machine with RDP and I tried using Remmina. Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes the special key stop working( ctrls + s will type s instead of saving) Also there are visual glitches on a second monitor. I had to switch back to windows.
Can anyone recommend a different RDP client?
@Rusty @Kory Usually i using http://www.rdesktop.org/, but it is not actively developed now
I’ll try it, thanks.
My only real reason is the amount of stuff I’d have to move over
Only thing are my files, that are pretty tricky to transfer securely while maintaining compatibility (i dualboot)
Lmao stealing this
Indeed it is brother… indeed it is.
Unfortunately, my vr headset requires a piece of middleware that is not Linux compatible. But, by the time 10 LTSC reaches end of life, Deckard should be available for purchase.
Also, I’ll need to re-pirate substance painter for avatar work, as GenP doesn’t do Linux either.
What headset? Most headsets work fine now. I had some issues with an old WMR headset (HP Reverb G2), but even Windows doesn’t support WMR anymore so it’s basically dead. Went with a Quest 3 eventually and it works great with WiVRn (ALVR works as well, but it’s a bit more clunky).
Pimax. Fantastic FOV, but wide and clunky, and the rest is just meh.
When you’re Canadian, European or basically not a US citizen, that alone should be enough reason not to use windows…don’t give your money to greedy corporate overlords of a dictatorship
