Not arguing with you at all, pick the tool that’s right for you, but I’m curious which tools you’re using that only work in Windows? I’m sure there are plenty out there, but I’m really only thinking of MS specific tools like Visual Studio and SQL Server tools.
- Kye 2y agoAbleton Live: The WineHQ page says "disable Max." I need that! Affinity Suite: There's a long, involved dance to get it kind of working. Arturia V Collection X: Mixed reports Native Instruments stuff: Mixed reports And even if it works at some point, I don't look forward to the prospect of waiting for someone to figure out how to make the next version work. There are official Nvidia drivers for Linux for my GPU, but I don't know how well it would work, and I don't have anything to put install media on to test. Doing the dance with configuring EFI to boot a live CD from the SSD doesn't appeal to me.
- TheCleric 2y agoThanks.
- JoeyBananas 2y agoIf Windows is the only OS that has the software you need and that's why you use it, I get that. But I wonder, If you are a competent Linux user as you claim, then wouldn't you prefer if whatever software you wanted worked on Linux? If the answer is yes, then why do you have a positive attitude towards Windows when it's a ball-and-chain that you only use because you have to?
- Kye 2y agoI don't have a positive attitude toward Windows. I would prefer if the software I use worked on Linux.
- JoeyBananas 2y agoLol. Next time someone tries to evangelize Linux to you just tell them that
- Kye 2y agoThat was kind of the idea behind the post, sort of a macro, but it seems like a lot of people are getting the wrong ideas. I'll need to go in and figure out which parts are me not being clear and which parts are people reading their own assumptions into it.
