    I keep seeing these " time to move to Linux" threads. For my work I have to use super proprietary software which I know for a fact is Windows only. Not only that it’s GPU intensive CPU intensive and niche. I’m sure there’s a way to run Windows within Linux but I can only imagine the pain in trying to get proprietary shite to work.

    On top of that I need specific CAD software, Photoshop and Illustrator. I don’t think any of these daily used programs support Linux.

    From the outside, Linux just seems like an absolute ball ache to get working with all of the things I currently do without even thinking about it.

    I’d love to do it. Not sure it’s going to work. Am I wrong?

      As a gamer, I’m always going to have at least one Windows PC.

      But I’m planning to upgrade next month, and turn my old PC into a non-gaming Linux rig for all non-gaming purposes.
