If you are running it in a VM or use WSL, start dual-booting.
If you're already dual-booting, make Linux your primary OS.
It's not hard, I promise! Most distros are very straightforward to install.
When you use Micro$oft Windows, you are letting Bill Gates microchip your balls using 5g towers.
Using proprietary operating systems makes you a lib. Stalin wrote at length about this and also how sick his Arch rice was.
More reasons to use Linux:
- Your OS no longer mails pictures of your genitalia to Steve Ballmer
- Jiggling desktop windows
- Richard Stallman stops sleeping underneath your bed
- Always feel like hackerman
- Helps starve the capitalist tech giants of their lifeblood
- Penguins are dope
Shocked at how good Fedora is. I've used everything from Ubuntu to Arch (btw I use Arch) to Slackware. Fedora just has all the stuff I need, most of the time preinstalled, the rest of the time in the repos. I've started using the software center, and I'm a programmer weenie that spends most of their time in their console. Updates are often, and shokingly it's the most stable desktop experience I have had thus far. Also I'm a g*mer and most of my stuff just werks, Proton has come a long way and more importantly you can check user reports on ProtonDB. Luckily I'm not a user of stuff like Photoshop or DAWs or CADs, my heart goes out to you, I hope one day we'll have something to get your work done on Linux.
What's the draw to Fedora? I've never used anything rpm based.
This is me. I'm a console guy through and through, but goddamn it flatpak's cli is garbage for showing details.
Glad this isn't me! GIMP seems pretty mature these days, but I haven't touched Photoshop in almost a decade, so idk how it holds up. Krita also looks good.
Ardour is pretty fantastic as a DAW, even has some features that proprietary software doesn't. Your main problem is VSTs, but even there you can do quite a bit with what's available native for Linux + what works through WINE.
