Time to contribute heavily to Linux open source and make Linux desktops super useful to everyone.
Yeah, we're already there bud. Come on in, the waters fine
What's the best place to start for newbies you think?
YouTube!
I would 100% start by dual booting Linux Mint or KDE Neon alongside your windows install. Mint is more like windows, Neon is similar but has tons of configuration options so can be a bit much. Either will do you well though.
You can see reviews of both on YouTube to see how they look, and also watch some instructional on how to install a dual boot system. You'll end up with Linux and windows both on your PC and you can pick which to boot at each start. That way you can go back to with does to get stuff done or checknon things while you're learning.
Lastly, just be aware that things do work differently. That's the good bit though! If you've used a Mac before you'll be familiar with Linux already. The big differences are in how the file system works and how programs are installed. Again, YouTube will help you to figure those out.
Taken it slow, learn what does what and why, and you'll be up and running in no time :)
I'll completely jump ship once SolidWorks can run on Linux. Wine is still a little iffy with it.
They already are.
Folks who haven't moved yet are luddites.
Hey, some of us are trying to do a huge server migration before we switch so that we can make sure all of our stuff is backed up properly.
I can't wait to go back, especially since proton is so much better.
Hopefully my Nvidia card doesn't suck too bad.
Or business. The standard is Office and it’s file formats. Open source equivalents still don’t quite have the same compatibility. Everyone expects office files to get shared.
FOSS alternatives like LibreOffice are completely compatible with MS Office file formats.
I use LibreOffice at a medium size company where everyone else uses MS Office. Not a single issue.
That hasn’t been my experience. They also aren’t collaborative with those that use Office, that’s half the issue.
