Don't forget gaming. Gaming on Linux is possible but Windows still has the advantage in both software and hardware support.
I particularly like the video series from LinusTechTips where they try to use Linux as their daily driver because it is very telling. They manage to do stuff, but it isn't great. I find it interesting because it is done from the point of view of computer enthusiasts but not IT professionals or programmers. The kind who know about the command line, but are not very comfortable with it and would rather do without.
- Kuraj 2y agoI don't think calling gaming on linux "possible" gives it the justice it deserves, with the arrival of the Steam Deck and all the improvements Valve contributed to the upstream. The experience is practically _seamless_. I agree though that linux _on desktop_ is pretty janky, or at least it always was for me, having tried daily driving numerous distros.
- Uvix 2y agoIt's only seamless if you buy everything through Steam. Third-party stores need not apply.
- GuB-42 2y agoSo, steamless is not seamless.
- 71bw 2y ago>The experience is practically _seamless_. IF you buy through Steam. IF you have an AMD GPU. IF by seamless you mean that regardless of the aforementioned BIG assumptions you still have to go and play with winetricks or whatever to get some stuff working and it can take you hours of tinkering.
- Kuraj 2y agoOkay, that's fair enough. Though even if you have a game that you bought outside of Steam, you can add it as a non-Steam game to benefit from the compatibility layer and all the bells and whistles.
