The worst thing about Linux is its users
I would switch to Linux in a heartbeat if it ran all the programs I use. And yes, I know about wine, but it’s still not all there yet. Thankfully there are more and more programs I use that now run natively in Linux, so I still have hope.
Got ya fam: don’t use the programs that don’t run on linux. UR WELCOME
This is how I do it. Emacs has everything you need.
To quote an old joke. Emacs is a good operating system, the only thing it lacks is a good text editor
I never tried to use it but this tracks with what I’ve heard. This blog post is worth sharing: https://www.andrewt.net/blog/vim/index.html (Vim must die and Emacs must not take its place)
Relevant excerpt:
I can’t recommend enough that everyone read this post, it’s great. Funnily enough, it seems that Microsoft of all companies did eventually make the terminal editor he was wishing for: https://github.com/microsoft/edit
He (Andrew T) shared this new development on Mastodon a couple of months ago but I can’t find that post too easily. Maybe I’ll ask him to append a note about MS edit to the post.
Do you dual boot it with blender for all your video editing needs ?
Sorta unironically. My partner and I have just started switching to other programs.
I’d do that, but there is a work app I need and there are not alternatives.
Honestly, between Lutris and Steam it’s now pretty easy to run most things from windows in Linux. There are some exceptions, such as Office, but the majority of my Steam library runs great. It’s come a long way, even in the last year. The frontends really simplify things.
The Maine Thing I’m worried about that Linux won’t run or at least won’t run well is VR but I did not try it yet.
ALVR works well with the quest 2 with little to no hassle (at least, no more hassle than using the oculus Windows app or VR desktop), but since it’s wireless, the compression artefacts are a bit annoying for me
Any options for wired VR with the Quest 2?
I haven’t found any, but it’s also been a while since I’ve checked (or even played VR).
I’d recommend giving the oculus app a try via wine experimental though. Just report back here and let me know if it works 😎
Me, Linux enthusiast, software engineer, after spending an hour trying to get some radio manufacturer’s software to cooperate with Wine: Honey, can I borrow your laptop?
I’m sorry, Mr. Torvalds! Forgive me!
Me having to do fuckass crazy shit to get two apps to run at the same time in Lutris to play Japanese VNs while selecting text 😭
I miss just opening the game, and opening Texractor. Now I gotta follow a guide from another distro to a T, pray I typed a / correctly, make .bat file, and run a whole other mini-OS in the background.
Skill. Issue.
