I web browse and use blender , all I lost eas the pirated software I barely touched and I guess I wasted 6monthd learning houdini, but it transferrs to blender (its paid and hard to pirate on linux)

I problem solved and tinkered all day everyday on windows, linux just worked and used less ram, I immediately noticed I had many more tabs open and no lag

Kvm/libvirt windows vm maybe? It opens windows apps as linux apps, issue comes with using gpu but toonboom seems cpu and ram intensive?

You would just set it up normally in the vm then open the app through your start menu as you would normally.

Blender and davinci? Prob doesn’t compare, but they run natively ar least.

They don’t actually break for the most part, the extension usually needs to be updated to say gnome 49 instead of 48, or you select ignore version on the extension site

They haven’t caused major changes that actually make them break in a while.

In case they do make major changes, it makes sense to not ignore version on default especially since that also effects older addons.

Also say an addon still works but gets abandoned, if they can’t bother to update just the version, it’s for the best that someone else comes along and takes over seeign that no one is working on that extension anymore, if it just kept working without someone bothering to even update the version? eventually when Gnome did get a major change, it would have no one working on it. So I think it kinda helps keeps extensions developed even if they technically work with a version change.

Bazaar has the best search by far, try them all, youll actually find stuff using bazaar, like fps will actually show all the fps, the rest wont, tried them all trying to find the best appstore

The first thing I noticed was how bad the search was on kde and gnome for the software stores.

I think cinnamons a better de to demo linux than gnome. I do use it now but itd turn ppl away (like me initially). Kde these days is def a better choice, but it was kinda easy to delete all your panels and end up with nothing last time I used it. Should really prevent you from deleting your last one.

A lot of things are built into it to be easily installable with less user effort. Has nice defaults. I use cachyos on my pc but on my handheld a lot of stuff wasn’t working by default, like the handhelds buttons/joystick. On bazzite everything works by default. (Think it’s one terminal command to install what is needed for controls in cachyos, but it didn’t work by default) You can still download whatever using rpm ostree, as a user idr know the difference. Grabbed gparted that way. Bazzite has the ujust command which gives you a lot of options for modifying and installing stuff easily like waydroid, emudeck, plugins, etc.

Also prefer gnome with extensions on touchscreens and handhelds, while everything else comes with kde and it’s apps by default. Kde isn’t bad at all and only 1 extension on pc (window thumbnails to pip any window) has me staying on gnome, but gnome works so much better for touchscreens and smaller devices.

The one news dude I liked listening to got in a car accident and is slowly getting back into posting

Was definitely holding it back, needing to check the spreadsheet for a singular value

holy shit the viewer nodes been updated and can show values now, thats so useful

Bundling in geonodes looks very useful for keeping stuff organizedc my only issue is thats the og workflow I wanted and I got used to not doing that

Anduin Os is ubuntu gnome themed like windows 11, could be an easier transition

Ubuntu studio may be a good pico if they are creative and don’t know about linux apps, will have many preinstalled, bazzite if they game

People tend to reccomend the only one theyve tried lol, id say de matters more, most distros will just work in my experience, and most of them use guis for grabbing apps with the terminal being optional, Mint is an obvious pick, with cinnamon de being easy to use, prob wouldn’t reccomend gnome with extensions unless you’ve already used linux for a few months, most other des have a solid default experience and easier (more straightforward) customizability

But I am all Amd which may be why its been mostly smooth

Not flawless but on windows I couldn’t find solutions so I gave up and forgot about whateer it was I was trying to do or fix, on linux I fix it and rememeber next time a similar issue occures, I have a flawless experience because I make that flawless day to day experience through the ocasional day each month I fix something. Windows is always just mid, like I’ve had apps refuse to open or work no matter what solution I tried, always had weird issues and crashing, linux I find the source fast or the app crashes/freezes not my whole system, it’s better at preventing that.

cpu hungry and eating memory? ram? 3gb is lowish for a browser, you must use very few active tabs

ye but the trade in value is pretty ass, flip 7 is the btter options, hopefully this case gets copied by some aliexpress companies lol

Only reason im considering a razr ultra, but honestly I have minimal issues with a touch keyboard, I do rememeber having way less misclicks and typos on physical keyboards tho
