Hardware being unsupported is a risk, not a chance. It's also very rare that there are no drivers available, either you're sitting on non-standardised newly released stuff or very old.
Have you met many developers that are surprised that applications aren't always easy to cross compile?
Yes there are many, most of the beginners when starting with Linux have the same query
Nice article, I agree with the points you have provided. The only thing which annoys me while reading a little bit is lack of interpunction.
Regarding the topic:
At work I'm forced to use Windows as I work with SAP system which client is not supported on Linux at all. I was trying to do "the switch" on personal computer, but I've always ended with going back to Windows. I've tried different distros and even stayed for about a year with PopOs! which I totally loved! The thing is always the same - after evaluating the Linux for some time I end up with totally broken system and I'm not talking about hardware/driver stuff. E.g. I try to implement rice found on the Internet with step-by-step tutorial on the same distro and somehow I end up with missing dependencies. Trying to add missing packages ends up with the system not working or I can't for example update different application because other app created some error which now doesn't allow for any apt-get update.
I agree, I had no problems at all running favorite games (both through Steam and Wine) and one time installations were great. It's just evaluating the system for quite some time (and no, I wasn't passing every command with sudo) makes the system unusable for me later on.
To be honest, I like the Linux feeling and developer compatibility and would love to stay for much longer, but each time I make the switch, I end up going back to Windows after around half an year. And yes, Windows is slower, less customizable, less secure and spying a lot (if not handled correctly) - but it works 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
First of all sorry for the grammatical mistakes, as I am not a native English speaker so still learning to write perfectly.
As far as you problem is concerned, this is the same thing ever guy faced when they newly switched their platform.
I will suggest you to give Ubuntu Budgie a shot. At beginners level this would a great choice, when you will get comfortable with you can switch to anything of your intrest.
Good luck, Happy Coding 🎉
I finally made the jump to Linux desktop last year. I spent a lot of time making sure I could still do my work before doing so, and made sure there was a reasonable amount of entertainment available as well. Some thoughts:
I can think of very few things in the last year that haven't been possible due to my running Linux. However, the point is taken - things will not run exactly the same. And expecting things to be identical to another OS defeats the purpose.
Exactly, you can do all the stuff with Linux, And Linux has alternative of all. Like for MS Office Linux have Libre Office. Just dig into the things, don't give up easily, Happy Coding 🎉
You'd be surprised the amount of Windows programs that run absolutely fine with Wine. I rarely have trouble running Windows stuff at all
Yeah I agreed, even all the software nowadays is compatible with Linux. And if they are not you can make them by doing some small settings change. But a newbie hesitates to change anything and generally switch to another distros for some minor reasons.
I have been on Linux for 7 years now I must say I am never going to Windows or Mac unless is a work laptop which is Windows and painful everyday to use to be honest, I also used Mac but the only dope thing is I was able to run my C projects lol.
That meme was too good 😆
Nice Article !!
PS - i have no complaint with India people/youtubers, I respect India and I think Indian are the most praised people in tech domain.
Yeah I am from India so you can be sure I just took it as a joke
I miss Kubuntu(my choosen distro). I loved the struggle to find linux alternatives of tools I need. For some reason using wine was not satisfactory.
Im back @ windows because I cannot find any BIM-CAD linux natives without spendin 2 weeks configing it to work and/or a 6month learning curve.
FreeCad, BricsCaD is the best I found... close to Revit/autoCad
As a daily use O.S Linux is still pretty raw, I only use it as a dev env
