I know there's always someone evangelizing Linux when you mention Windows anything, but when Microsoft requires a subscription for Windows is the day I will actually move to Linux.
Why not now?
Not the commenter but the answer is easy - right now, it's not costing me anything to run Windows on my PC, and installing Linux takes research, time, and attention that I don't feel like investing in my home PC at the moment. Probably the next PC I build (whenever my 10 year old Dell i7 is too damn slow, only now starting to get laggy) will run Linux. Previously I only installed linux on laptops I retired from active use, just for shits and giggles. Never once had a linux powerhouse, but now that linux gaming is a reality, I'm very interested in getting away from the advertising platform that Windows has become.
We're running a 6 year old selfbuilt gaming rig on Garuda Linux ... Runs like a charm. Husband is playing Warthunder which uses Anti-Cheat - so far everything runs out of the box.
Not OP, but Linux isn't much good for professional creative work. Would love to try it out, but without a functioning Adobe suite it's not gonna happen.
In my opinion, Inkscape is a great competitor to Adobe Illustrator. The problem comes in with the fact that we don't have a viable image manipulation software. Gimp just aint it.
Because he is lost
