I have moved to Linux. Hopefully for a long time. Or even forever. Chose PikaOS with KDE. Based on Debian, but with latest kernels to improve gaming experience. And hopefully make it easier installing various Windows programs I need for work. Everybody got to start somewhere.

To be honest, I have tried Linux before with Ubuntu(back when those eee PC existed). I also used Manjaro and Arch. Even installed Arch without archinstall. Didn’t exist back then. But I have to say Linux has definitely improved a lot. Almost everything just worked now. To be fair. I don’t have nvidia gpu or Intel cpu anymore. Only AMD. So that could be part of why it went smoother.

One small annoyance I got was that my pc could not play from speakers when front audio port was connected by my headset. And now I need to figure out how to install Filemaker 19 pro on my PC. So I can work from home. Winehq is not encouraging

Can someone also recommend a really good replacement for Directory Opus but for Linux? Paid or free software do not matter. As long as it functions like Dopus does.

    I’m not familiar with Directory Opus but try Krusader (sort of a spiritual successor to Norton Commander)

      I think dolphin (the KDE default) can pretty much do everything including dual pane these days

        Dolphin does have dual pane and can do things like FTP but Krusader has much more keyboard control, more advanced filtering, can use root, is much better at comparing files, and other things I’m sure I’m forgetting.
