It depends on what the opinion is on If you don’t have an opinion on whether strawberry or raspberry jam makes no difference

But if it’s something that affects you or people you care about (or people you should care about) and you don’t form an opinion that reflects badly

I switched a while ago.

Full office suite works fine on web including teams

I had switched to vscode from visual studio anyway so that wasn’t an issue

The only big thing I think is missing now is Photoshop (krita and photopea exist) and games that have intentionally prevented themselves being run in Linux, which is a pretty good reason to vote with your wallet anyway imo

I do kinda miss being able to fuck around in Roblox every now and again but oh well

I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be it doesn’t change how Linux works does it?

I regularly buy new games on release on Linux without even checking, play with friends on windows and have yet to be burned

Helldivers was a bit janky to begin with but with some custom launch options it ran fine

Generally hardware compatibility should be identical across all distros, as most drivers are baked into the kernel

The exception being Nvidia drivers, you have to install those yourself pretty much everywhere

Lowest maintenance possible is probably gonna be bazzite as people are saying

The anticheat thing is a pain

No, I apparently missed that but

Nix is the best solution anyway imo

Personally I’ve been using outlook via pwa for months anyway

If they’re gonna put it in an electron container anyway you be may as well cut out the middleman and just use the web app Microsoft’s ones are actually quite good now

I thought outlook had been electron for a while

I’ve been using the outlook pwa on Linux for some time with no issues, maybe try that instead if it’s causing problems for you on windows?

Usually the reaction you’ll get trying to convince someone to use an operating system when they don’t know or care what an operating system is

I’d like to interject for a moment, what you’re referring to as Linux is actually gnu/linux/churbleyimyam

I don’t think DE really means much for security, your biggest concern is always going to be the software you run having the same privelages as you (IE filesystem access)

This is a great middle ground suggestion

If you have a laptop and a desktop put it on the laptop fully rather than dual boot

Until proton came out I kept dual booting but I always ended up booting into windows because I didn’t know how to do x on Linux

When I just wiped windows completely and put it on my laptop I distro hopped for a bit but never went back

Ended up switching my PC over too after about 6 months and I no longer own any windows machines, nor feel the need to besides the odd firmware upgrade of a peripheral or something

True, I used bluestacks once or twice and concluded it was bloated and possibly dodgy so never really used it

Ah I read or as of, thought op said dropping support of dual boot

Sorry I meant nix-shell -p, I didn’t read your original comment properly apparently

It’s definitely an option as op wants to run one script from the sounds of it, nix-shell not nix shell is perfect for that

It’s a bit needlessly confusing that there are two entirely separate commands with the same name and thought you were talking about the original one

Windows is dropping support for dual boot?

nix shell -p works without flakes enabled

Certifying isn’t too bad, I’ve done it 7 of 8 times now probably because I keep nuking my machines

Why do you need a compatibility layer? It runs x86 lineageos doesn’t it?
