FOSS is getting nicer and proprietary software is getting worse. Things are looking up, IMO.
Each update that almost kills my pc is driving me further and further to linux.
At this point my busted old laptop is like Son Goku who gets a powerup each near death fight he has.
Next PC build will 100% be Linux, I run it on most of my PCs, but my desktop runs Windows because of NVidia. Can't wait, lol
Depending on how old your Nvidia card is you might be able to make the jump now, the beta drivers released in the last couple months have made huge leaps in making Nvidia cards function on Wayland. My only remaining gripe is discord flickering but I may just need to try a different discord client.
I'll wait a bit more, but that's encouraging, thanks.
Just wanted to also echo that sentiment. Using a nvidia card and after the Nvidia 555 driver update things are almost perfect on Wayland for me. Keep an eye on future nvidia updates because I'd say your near-future decision is almost here from a software standpoint
Nice! Excited to switch over the last of my machines!
Setup dual boot with Linux Mint lol
I eventually deleted Windows after a few months of not booting into it cuz it kept breaking
The FOSS alternatives to Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Illustrator have really come a long way in the last 10 years.
What's the alternative to lightroom?
