I’d go for Lunix, if the software I need for work would I run on it. Thinking about keeping Win 10 on a separate disk, since my laptop is not eligible for Win 11.
not trying to be one of those guys but trying to be helpful. What software for work do you need that won’t work on a linux distro?
I mean wine/winetricks is pretty much to the point now where you can simply download an .exe or whatever, double click it, and it’ll launch. I do this for several Windows only programs I have and they all work. And the thing with the Linux community is that there’s always SOMEONE that will insist on getting the most obscure drivers working on it. I once had this dongle from like the early 2000s that would allow you to plug PSX and PS2 memory cards into it. I thought “yeah I’d like to use this again, no way it’ll work on linux” and sure enough someone had actually made the drivers for it. I think it’s only me and the guy who made the driver that actually use the thing.
Thank you for the reply. I need to run Rhino 8, and apparently it doesn’t reliably work through wine. It’s my main software I use professionally, and moving to something like Blender is unfortunately not an option.
