The amount of time needed and potential for malicious software makes it a nonstarter for business applications.
Of course I’m talking about Linux. Over 100 customers so far have migrated to proper software this year. I earn less because I can’t bill as many hours of support but it’s worth to see customers happy and they bring on new customers due to a good experience.
I’m not techy enough to do Linux either. If I had someone set it up for me, I use Blender, Affinity and Davinci Resolve (paid) on a regular basis. I think there’s a Blender for Linux, right?
I think the biggest hurdle one needs to overcome is prejudice. “Linux is for nerds”, " Linux is unstable", “Linux is slow”, " Linux is for hackers."
Its all BS. Of course, if you run hype Linux like arch, nix or the like you’ll most likely suffer. But mint or Ubuntu just work.
Blender has always been faster and better on Linux, affinity I don’t know and resolve I think also works well on Linux.
But please don’t believe me. Just get a USB stick, download Linux mint iso and use balena etcher to make a live system. Stick in, reboot, try it non destructively.
Blender installs natively from Steam and works without any emulation of windows’ stuff. I noticed the download size is different for Linux, so I guess they cared to pack everything needed for it to work smoothly.
Some distro claimed they did everything to make UX with Resolve one of their targets, I believe it’s Nobara or maybe Bazzite. It’s not emulated either and installers are also provided by the devs of Resolve themselves.
Affinity have no plans to make a Linux version, so it’s always emulated and has workarounds like that (github) but I haven’t used their software even on Windows so Idk how the experience of using their products is. Coming to Linux, I got used to Inkscape for my vector needs and Krita\Photopea for raster gfx. I heard Darktable is a good Lightroom alternative if it’s up your valley.
Does not work permanently. The only way is switching to proper software.
I turned it off permanently. There are hacks around the web if it becomes a problem. Apple has been doing this for years too. Are you saying Linux?

I’m in a creative field, Linux isn’t really an option. This isn’t black and white.
I have customers in the creative field. It is an option, just not for everyone, yet.
I suggest we agree on Linux being the better option for a variety of reasons with some exceptions which still need to be fixed.
Out of curiosity: which programs/hardware would you like to see working on Linux?

I heard blender runs significantly better on linux.
