    The hurdles windows users are willing to put up with is nothing less than amazing. That’s not a good thing.

        I would love to learn and deal with Linux, unfortunately the software I need for work only supports Mac or Win

          It’s possible you can run it through wine, might be worth a try

            Much business oriented software just hasn’t had the work done on it to work on Wine. Really the only reason I have to run Windows now is the 3D CAD software I use and my best option at this point is running it in a Windows VM on my server. And no Freecad and Fusion360 aren’t suitable options, they both suck.

              Ouch that’s unfortunate. At least keep your old hardware for personal use Linux when you get new work PC. Get your feet wet with the ecosystems

      Oh, I already have Linux on my laptop. It’s my desktop that still has some blockers preventing a full Linux transition.
      Primarily the Pimax headset. Once I get a suitable replacement, I’ll actually be able to start testing and transferring stuff.
