Huion for art-related hardware

Do you have any experience with those? I was thinking of getting one of their Kamvas screen tablets on my next payday, probably the Pro 16 4K version.

Those who are on Windows and Mac, consider getting something really cheap like a raspberry pi or dual-booting a Linux distro and slowly developing the skillset to leverage it to your everyday needs, then start carrying your workflow over gradually until the other two are obsolete.

I too encourage people to at least try out Linux in a VM for a few days. Modern distros are really not scary to approach, especially if you go for something like Mint which is aimed at individuals freshly migrating from Windows. EndeavourOS is also a good alternative if you want to lean into something Arch-based. Most things will either work or have alternatives that do. Your video games will work too, apart from certain multiplayer titles using specific implementations of anti-cheat. With Proton it's as easy as clicking play on Steam and letting it work its magic. Sometimes you need to tinker with launch settings, check the game's entry on ProtonDB, users post the settings that worked for them in the reports section. If you are willing to do some research and tinkering with protontricks and wine you can even get more complex things running, like heavily modded setups running through Mod Organizer.

Yes, sometimes things might break on you, especially if you use a rolling release distro. Fixing those issues is usually a matter of doing a few quick internet searches and following instructions. If you are willing to put up with it, those moments will end up boosting your learning process. In my case, using Linux also helped me build up my general IT skills quite a lot. I'll also give a shout-out to Linux Journey, it was recommended to me when I started using Linux and it is a solid resource.

Death to windows.
