Try Fedora with Cosmic since you’re currently on Pop!_OS.

Because VMware does allow you to use GPU acceleration with passing through a GPU. And as far as I am aware, virt-manager doesn’t have this feature.

There’s Gnome integration.

Well, you can use Of365 online. Same with OneDrive. Some desktops even allow you to connect your MS account to the desktop (Gnome).

As far as music production goes I’m an avid user of Ableton Live.

Install Windows into VMware player, then install this into it.

Not something that’s absolutely necessary, but I’m just curious if the touch support of my laptop would be maintained.

It will be maintained.

Nvidia is fixing their mistakes on Linux day by day. I have a GTX 1660 super running under Fedora and it works well.

!Try Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC if you want Windows without junk. Here is the link!<

XDG Documents folder

If the game items had price tag in XMR, it’d be very cool. No one asked for buying Blender models with Ethereum.

Gnome and Cosmic. Gnome 'cause of simplicity and Cosmic because of Rust.

!I am a Rust programmer and I love this language!<

What do you expect? X11 is in maintenance mode. Although I’ll miss Polybar, I won’t miss the protocol.

!Why are you gay?!<

Jokes aside, it’s cool to see that.

I’d use Linux for homelab if there was native Fusion, since I need that for school.

These folks that I linked to are also responsible for Microsoft activation scripts. So if you want to show your middle finger with your wallet to Microsoft, you can do it with that script.

If you need Windows for some applications (e.g. Fusion, Call of Duty, etc.), dual boot it , but only the LTSC versions of it. Here are the links for the LTSC versions of Windows. I know that they’re not from the official source, but I checked them and the checksums match. Otherwise, use Linux.

I’d recommend egui, though you have to use Rust for it. (learning it should be easy, considering the fact that you have background in C).

Libreboot it.

Why do you think that?

It’s 3,68% in my country

Even Minecraft, which is just Java, runs at 20% less FPS than on Windows, constant stutters and screen tearing that Vsync won’t fix.

Have you tried Sodium? And don’t use stock Minecraft launcher. There is Prism Launcher, which is way better.

And then there is all of the RTX raytraced games that are broken or have considerably worse performance. - What about 5.1 surround speakers that work out of the box but will not work on Linux. I tried every driver and every tinker. So I can basically enjoy my game without sound, because my Razer headset also won’t connect automatically on boot. I have to unplug the dongle every single time.

Raytracing on linux is good these days

Then what about my Logitec mouse and keyboard and Corsair RGB? Can’t configure that either.

You have OpenRGB for that.

And winget.

I used Game Bar to record my videos back in the day. But it’s just too basic.

LibreCAD is shittier version of AutoCAD. Also, we don’t have anything like Inventor on Linux. But we do have Heroic Games Launcher for Epic Games Launcher.
