I’ve been seeing all these posts about Linux lately, and looking at them, I can honestly see the appeal. I’d love having so much autonomy over the OS I use, and customize it however I like, even having so many options to choose from when it comes to distros. The only thing holding me back, however, is incompatibility issues. A lot of programs I work with very often are Windows-exclusive, and alternatives supporting Linux are rare. So I guess I’m stuck with Windows, since I deem those particular programs really important.

Any advice from Linux nerds here? All constructive replies are very appreciated.

    I’m having issues too. I’d just use a VM at that point xD. With Bottles it’s usually hit or miss but with a VM, almost anything works. Sorry friend🤧

    Edit: my virtual machine manager of choice is GNOME Boxes because it’s very easy to use. If it doesn’t work it usually means KVM or SVM (one of them) is disabled in your BIOS.

      NP, I guess I’ll just have to accept it (I only use it to convert ebooks to KFX format, it seems a bit overkill to have VM Windows just for that.)

      Thank you for trying to help.
