There's basically 2 reasons I haven't been able to switch to linux:
1) Fusion 360 - Just can't get it working under linux well enough.
2) Monitors - Always issues mixing highdpi and low dpi monitors in linux, my main is a 4k 144hz 43", the sides and tops are all 2560x1440 27s. Oh and there's my Ceiling 4k projector which I turn on to watch movies or baseball when I lean back and think. Which leads to the other issue, Nvidia seems to greatly limit the number of outputs you can have under linux compared to windows. With 6 monitors, I've never gotten it to work even with 6 of the same monitor, let alone my messed up setup.
Yes yes, woa was me. I've had linux as a daily driver for at least 10 years of my main computer use since 1998. I do really prefer it but so far just making the tradeoff.
Also I tend to play games that have anti-cheat like CoD / PubG, etc which further locks things out.
I do like the direction things are going
- ant6n 2y agoThere’s basically 1 reason I haven’t switched back to Mac: I want a non reflective screen - I don’t want to look at an outline of myself when working, and I want a laptop I can work with in any position, not just where light sources and reflections behind me are carefully removed.
- SkyMarshal 2y agoJust put an anti-glare screen on it. Tons of Mac users feel the same way and do this (myself among them). And fwiw, you can make a glossy screen into a matte one with a cover, but you can't make a matte screen into a glossy one the same way. Which may be why Apple makes all their screens glossy.
- ant6n 2y agoApple doesn’t offer such thing. And their laptops are too thin, you’re supposed to take them off before closing.
- SkyMarshal 2y agoApple doesn't but tons of third parties do. And I leave mine on my MBP M2 permanently fwiw. There are ones that don't prevent sleep on lid close.
