If you do not wish to interact with me, Lemmy has a wonderful block button, you don’t have to tell me how you want me to act, that is odd behavior and you wouldn’t do that when interacting with people in real life if you live in a civil society, it is odd to try to control how others interact with people instead of just blocking them when it is so convenient to do.

  • Just so ppl aren’t dissapointed Daws like ableton and fl studio don’t have support (Reaper and Bitwig do tho, some others too)

    Visual programs like touch designer and resolume don’t work (seen workarounds but they have issues)

    Davinci resolve may crash, it worked fine on arch but on bazzite it freezes my pc when loading projects

    On the gaming side obv there are the games that won’t function without anticheat like wrc, iracing, f1, etc. No game pass ofc.

    I still wouldn’t swap back to windows and I barely use it, maybe once a month if I really want to use something not on Linux.

    Main downside is lack of piracy. Houdinifx should work fine on linux natively, but lacks a crack. So even if the paid software does work, if you pirate to use this stuff as a hobby than you’ll have to swap to something like Blender/Inkscape that is free and works on linux. Only crack I’ve found was for Davinci Resolve.

    Linux has plenty of free and capable alternatives for paid software, I like that it has me using Foss more. Went from learning Houdini + Davinci to just sticking with Blender for my hobby visuals, not mad about it, prefer that I was forced to focus on one.

    The pros just outweigh the cons, overall faster, 90% of the time im just using a web browser so compatibility isn’t really an issue, that works fine. I love being able to actually customize my computer, desktop environment, etc. and feel like I have complete ownership over my device. Swap my file manager or whatever, I think anyone who has jailbroken their phone in the past would really get the appeal of linux instantly. It almost feels like using cydia when using gnome with extensions or flathub, but better.

    I dualbooted and then just didnt touch windows again til a year later, I stopped using a few hobbyist programs that I had put a lot of time in but pirated and stuck to just blender really since piracy was and still is difficult for some of those programs (houdini) or the program itself causes issues and doesn’t work well on linux (davinci resolve on bazzite, worked fine on cachyos tho, all amd)

    I only reinstalled windows on another drive recently to play simracing games, but ended up mostly playing the ones that work on linux rather than iracing and wrc which I booted up windows for.

    Plenty of things still don’t work well or require a lot of workarounds, like producers using ableton probably shouldn’t switch to linux, or vfx artists using touch designer, if s@box devs exist the dev side doesn’t work on linux





  • Until you want to tinker with stuff that doesn’t have an appimage or flatpak, also on amd I’m convinced blender runs slower than it did on cachyos, davinci resolve doesn’t work no matter what work around I try it freezes my computer when loading a project. Cycles can’t recognize my gpu on bazzite either (blenders renderer), if it does (through tar not flatpak) it doesn’t work.

    I had no issues on cachyos, I just swapped to see if my displayport would work here, should’ve realized it’s a hardware issue earlier, did when I dualbooted windows and then googled my laptop and found out the usb c to display always had issues and likely never worked. (alienware m17 r5 all amd) Every person asking under warranty got it replaced with an nvidia variant.
