Considering changing to PopOS as a content creator
Hi folks!
I was using PopOS regularly a few years ago, and it was working great. Good performance, and I was actually noticing a lot of my gaming was running smoother too. I ended up going back to Windows because I could not play VALORANT, Destiny, or HUNT: Showdown on the platform. While I don't play VALORANT anymore, I don't think that the other games have support on Linux either.
The other reason was Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, and DaVinci Resolve. I need to do some video editing, and general live streaming too, and I never really dabbled with that on Linux.
I guess my question is for those who game / content create - has Linux been viable for you? Or do you often find yourself dual booting anyway to get the latest updates, driver support, anti-cheat support, plugins etc.
I game on Pop. I left windows on dual boot just in case, but I have only logged into Windows 2 times in 18 months and that was just to run updates because I realized I hadn't logged in.
Since the Steamdeck came out, TONS more games work on linux.
Davinci Resolve works on Pop as well. You are kinda screwed with Lightroom and PS though.
