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.

    Regarding installing windows apps I figure I could do a docker installation and have windows inside it. And having winapps as the tool. https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps/

    As for Opus, tabbed work is better in it than Dolphin that is currently installed. I thought Konqueror was split in browser and the file manager years ago. That Dolphin is the replacement file manager. Unless I misunderstood something years ago(wouldn’t be first time).

      Konqueror still has a file manager component that is not the same as Dolphin.
