Anyone else use a linux distro as main computer?
I tried to a few years ago with Ubuntu but it was missing a lot of apps and games I liked or needed to use for various reasons. These days I unfortunately still use windows as a main, but I have Ubuntu in a dual partition with windows on my laptop
tried years ago with Ubuntu. There was a lot to like, but ultimately gaming just wasnt a thing.
Yeah. I'm hopeful that with all the work proton and steam are doing to get things compatible with Linux we might see that change soon
I have Mint on dual boot and a VM image, but mostly Win10.
There are two laptops on my desk at home. One dual boots between MacOS and Windows (90% Windows) and the other is running Fedora 39. If I had to point at one of them as my "main" computer, it'd be the dual-booting one. I use both fairly heavily, though.
Yep! Current daily driver is Ubuntu but I have tinkered with fedora in the past. I am not a gamer but am a programmer and find I have everything I need for work/life easily available. I am comfortable on the command line which helps but if it's set up then anyone can use it I reckon. All my coding stack is open source. And libre Office is a pretty good replacement for MS office (without the shitful 365 cloud garbage)
I have also used Mac regularly and I can't think of much I can do on one and not the other.
Happy to answer any more specific question - feel free to PM me. Not that I know how that works on lemmy.
