Until I can play competitive shooters on Linux this isn’t an option.
Unfortunately there’s still a lot of major blocks to using Linux when most of what you do requires windows only software. Between CoD, Destiny 2, Apex Legends (bans Linux players falsely), Lightroom and Photoshop I’m basically stuck on windows. There’s still too many important things that still don’t work on Linux for it to be viable.
Don’t even get me started on hardware. My GoXLR mini has no support either, so I’d need to buy a new audio interface to use Linux, while losing a lot of functionality.
Don’t mind me, still salty that I can’t make the switch. But if 85% of what I do on the daily can’t be done in Linux then it’s a non-starter.
