    I want to ditch windows so bad, but I can’t run any autodesk products on Linux atm… Revit, Autocad… Sad noises

      Install atlas os and dual boot linux as your daily driver. Honestly linux experience is what you think windows experience is and vice versa. Windows is just insanely bad now. I haven’t touched my psu power button, done anything close to using reg edit or have a bsod equvilent just from playing a video game since I moved to fedora.

        Not familar with AtlasOS… Interesting. Not that I have any use for it personally.

        And all Windows-only software works natively on it?

            Is this a better alternative to going with bazzite or garuda? Or will support be lost once ms moves to win 11 only ? I love linux but I am worried I won’t be able to game or use vr (quest2) without a bunch of work. I play a lot of racing Sims, steam games which I’m fine with, but my friends do play pubg which I’d have to abandon due to the stupid anti cheat. I’d like to not have to dual boot but I may have to for vr…

              As someone who has been on Bazzite for maybe 6 months now, I will never go back to any form of Windows, regardless of how neutered it might be.

              I can’t speak for VR though.

          Depends how familiar with disk partitioning you already are, but it’s generally not that bad. Shrink your windows partition, create a new ntfs partition in windows, and install Linux. Pretty much every major installer has an option to preserve Windows.

          I guess this is the thing with Linux, at various levels it skews DIY and more time intense. And honestly the market seems to be bifurcating between that and the opposite extreme: Android/iOS, which many use as their main PCs now.

            I’ve ran windows and linux side by side in the past. It was OK. I just wish the big names would get on board already (Adobe, autodesk, etc)
