At work we run some software that while you can get it to run under Linux it's not worth the effort even for me to bother.
One supplier is slowly moving towards the runtime being available on BSD at least. They also somewhat decoupled from visual studio in the latest release, while still being mandatory still it's a step in the right direction.
Even if software does support Linux chances are it is a worse version. The exception is foss.
I’m in the middle of moving, but once I’m set up I’m going to look into dual booting. I’m not sure I’ll 100% be able to get rid of windows, though. For a start, I’ve heard NVIDIA is a nightmare on Linux and I’ve only recently got a new computer so i don’t really want to buy more hardware.
Hopefully dual booting will allow me to experiment and try alternatives for software which doesn’t have a Linux version, and i hear that one of the things that chatbots are actually good at is diagnosing and fixing Linux issues. So I’m hopeful, but I’m not assuming it’ll be entirely painless.
The Nvidia open-source driver situation has been improving. Supposedly Valve has been working with them on it alongside their ARM support.
You can also try your hand with the closed source drivers but ymmv.
Yeah, but the system requirements for Windows 11 are a good way above those for 10. Many people would need new machines; whereas Linux still runs decently on hardware from 2003.
Rolling releases go brrrrrr.
Here's a list of End-of-Life dates for CentOS Stream which is a rolling release.
CentOS is sadly dead anyways.
So it's a semi-rolling release then.
