And update on my Linux journey, a couple of weeks back I decided to daily drive Fedora as an experiment to see if it was possible to use it instead of windows as a game dev/3D artist. I was surprised with how well it ran and performed and with proton almost all game from steam ran out of the box.

I switched to Linux in December! I love it. Not without its headaches though. What do you use for graphics work? I still switch back to Windows and Mac to use Photoshop.

My top used is probably blender, but for visual stuff I'll say: Blender (3d, quick video editing) Kdenlive Inkscape Krita (drawing mainly) Gimp (quick edits) Scribus (print layout) Aseprite
