Man, we as a community really ought to put more effort and resources helping out FreeCAD.

First person to come up with a time machine, can you make your first trip back to the early 80s and buy 86-DOS and open source it before Bill gets his grubby hands on it?

On a more serious note as a windows user it just does a good enough job that I don't want to put in any effort for something better.

I dream of a world where I don't have to dual boot.

Just built my first fully dedicated Linux machine. Still keeping my old Windows desktop around purely because I play League of Legends and they use a kernel level anticheat, so it won't run on VM.

Fun fact, ever since Riot made it mandatory to install their rootkit if you want to play their games, every time I try to eject a flash drive, it says it can't eject because it's in use - even if I just plugged it in. And that's super comforting.

Alright, as much as I want to give Microsoft the double birds and leave, way too many modding programs are .exe based.

And I just cannot yet be fucked to learn how to do per-app emulation. It scares me, things just sort of work here, and I can give them one and a half birds by removing almost all their telemetry garbage.

That being said I do really like the idea of Linux, I just want a little bit more idiot friendliness out of it

their ecosystem of apps is buggy as fuck.

teams and outlook always gives me headaches.

What the fuck is all this anti-Windows 11 talk? I have never had a problem with it. Is it because of functionality or something else? Because, functionality wise, it’s been fine for me. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Oh shit I didn’t realize this was in Linux. Welp o7 I go down with my ship lmao

Right now it's pretty much just HDR and music production softwares that don't run on Linux.

Where Linux?

Windows is so unstable

Different tools (or even preferences) for different people, you know...

HDR and VR, that's it. And everything that isn't gaming happens on my Framework laptop running NixOS anyways.

Dual booting is still using Windows.

(I'm not saying dual booting is bad, I'm just saying it doesn't count as not using Windows, which is what most Windows users are opposed to, not to dual-booting with Linux.)

It was VR and davinci

Then I found out arch runs davinci flawlessly.

Now I have arch Linux and "VR mode" (windows)

I had to work with a win 11 system today. I needed to fast move through a lot of pictures with the m$ image viewer, every time I delete a picture it does a fucking slow animation which just steals my time.

Okay, I went to the win-settings and removed animations. Photo-app still does animations...

FU M$.

I just want proper HDR support in games. Since that's most of what I use my laptop for these days, Windows it is.

I don't use it (haven't used Windows in decades), but I kept a small partition with Windows 11 on it which I boot from time to time as I enjoy watching what it's becoming.

It's like watching a slow motion industrial accident. Horrifying fascination.

Tarkov and Destiny 2 mainly.

Also I have a laptop I use from time to time running mint, few games installed. The games itself work okayish but the amount of times I need to "fix" some bullshit is annoying. Last things I remember were the touchpad being wonky and games having extreme tearing on HDMI, no matter if vsync was on or off.

I might try pop os some time but honestly my windows machine runs mostly without fault for years now (just cannot use any gpu drivers after march 24, but that's on nvidia) and at the end of the day I just want to consoome without fiddling in settings every time.

Isn't it like a famous american philosopher once sang:

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose ...
