Yeah I don’t feel like running an emulation or a script to just play a game though. If I want to use Linux. I’ll use it on a laptop for web browsing. It’s a useless OS for me personally for every day life that has very little support from other companies.
You left out the part where you have to install wine though.
Install Wine in the Terminal using “sudo apt install wine64” (64-bit computers) or “sudo apt install wine32” (32-bit computers). Download a Windows “.exe” or “. msi” program and go to the download location by typing “cd ~/Downloads” in the Terminal and pressing “Enter.” Type "wine <name of “.exe” or "
Yeah. Sounds way more fun that just getting whatever game I want and having supported drivers right away.
Just fave it man. Linux knst a boss OS like you want people to believe. And why be so pushy about it in the first place? Windows works great for me. Linux is fine when I want to use it. What does my OS preference trigger you so hard?
Linux has great DAWs, bridges for vsts, alternatives for Adobe software and tons of games. The issue is your unwillingness to try something new, which is fine, but that’s not a knock to Linux.
Name a real alternative to Adobe Acrobat. Especially Pro. Adobe has their crap on lockdown. And they know it, and they rape your wallet for it.
GIMP is good enough for me, and it may be a good cheaper alternative for budget minded professionals. But GIMP’s UI and workflow design pale in comparison to Photoshop. I haven’t used GIMP 3 yet though, maybe it’s gotten better.
This is very realistic and fair, I don’t subscribe to the ideologist out of touch bs personally even though I first compiled Gentoo 20 years ago.
I run Mac as my daily driver for convenience and stability but use the terminal for a ton of things and SSH into various Linux servers for my work. I run a VM in Parallels for the handful of apps which only work on windows, and generally avoid them unless they’re the only option.
Basically, what I’m saying is even if you’re dependent on some Windows only apps, you might find you have a better quality of life by making those the exception (running them in a VM) but using a more stable OS as the underlying OS.
Id run Linux if it could run the apps I need efficiently
use alternatives if possible
It’s not possible
What apps?
Ableton, FL Studio plus all the vsts I use. Plus all the adobe I use plus all the games I play that are windows only
All the games that I play are Windows-only too and they run just fine via Proton.

You open Steam, click Play, and the game launches.
The same as it does on Windows.

I’ve used gimp. I pay for Adobe. I paid for FL and Ableton and used them for over 10 years. Why would I switch?
