      Do it. With proton the last argument for me to use windows is gone (gaming).

        Can you run Adobe software via proton? As soon as that works I’ll be on Linux.

          Look at your usecase, if it really requires adobe suite, you are out of luck i’m afraid. Perhaps you could research running a VM or wine, but I havent tried any of that myself.

          If you conclude that you dont need features exclusive to adobe you might be able to find a foss alternative.

            I need Lightroom and I’ve tried Darktable but it just doesn’t cut it.

            It works very well, especially if you pass through your GPU and storage. I can even use this setup for Gaming, no significant performance loss compared to Windows. It’s awesome.

      I spent the last ~10 days “playing” with many distros, including testing some current games, and I am literally right now backing up my files and about to reformat my main PC to linux (full drive, no dual). This is after only having experience with copy-paste Raspberry PI guides for my pi-hole.

      Don’t totally believe “oh it’s so easy, nothing to configure” - those people are lying, especially if you’ve not used Linux before. But several flavors of Ubuntu are quite pleasant, and I appear to have found a home with PopOS. I can’t find anything that “doesn’t work”, and the worst fixes were just quick searches for help. PopOS won due to nvidia compatibility and a nice, snappy desktop. It also was the fastest in overall reformat cycle time. My wife’s computer is still Windows, if I do have any microsoft emergencies.

        OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is rather easy.

        But anyway, no mainstream user-friendly Linux distribution is that hard to use if you can read and think.

        So when people say that they can’t manage one on their desktop - they also usually can’t manage Windows on their desktop, they just think they can.

        I use Windows, macOS, and Linux, but all in separate ways. Haven’t used a desktop Linux in quite some time — only headless Linux servers.
