Linux desktop is still not caught up with Windows/Mac in regards to graphics, gaming, and laptops hardware support.
Gaming, it is mostly Windows games via Proton, hardly any different from using MAME, FS-UAE, Amiberry,...
Graphics, most of the well known commercial packages for VFX, 3D modeling, visualisation, lack a Linux version.
Laptops, just two years ago I failed to make UEFI work with the myriad of distributions I tried out, unless booting from external USB drive, and even then there was the whole termal configuration.
- emj 3mo agoLinux desktop has always worked, and was better for me. There will always be stuff you can't have on one OS that works on another, this has been true since before Linux. The question here is of what we are given be iOS and Google Play Services is enough, for many of us it is not. I daily drive SailfishOS on Jolla to see if it can be enough.
- wookmaster 3mo agoI can't really speak to laptops but I ditched windows last year for Linux and it's pretty damn good for gaming I have no reason to go back to windows at this point every major game I want to play works flawlessly. The only issue I've had is the new rust desktop from pop os, but I just pop back into gnome and everything is golden. I hope they get their issues solved soon but it was just released 6 months ago or so. I can understand there's some bugs to work out.
