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.
Might want to look at Avahi instead of relying on the official implementation and Wine.
FWIW CLI is 99% not actually writing with reverse-i-search, it’s mostly typing once then recovering, optionally editing, then executing again.
And yes switching work is drastic… but if it’s 8hrs/day for years on, it might be the most important decision still. I understand it’s not an easy one though so I’m not pushing for it.
