@nago-

gonna write a blog post series on how to try Linux out, written for a tech-casual audience.

  • What are some questions you have?
  • What software are you most anxious about missing?
  • What are your concerns about making the switch?
  • What pissed you off the most the last time you tried Linux?

My goal isn't really to evangelize linux - I think we've got that covered - my goal is more to just help folks who are already looking to make a switch for whatever reason... and I happen to be a big linux dork that also loves to touch grass and won't pretend that any normal person cares about which open source license their text editor is using. I promise I don't have a unix beard. I got it lasered off this year.

Software: Adobe CC, specifically Fresco, for out the box vector brush pen art for import into Illustrator. Satisfactory. Ableton Live (for live performance - running in a container environment is detrimental to this). LibreOffice is.... unacceptably shit UX compared to Sheets but like, i can just use Sheets.

Last Time: Weirdly large icons / OSX style task bar made me feel like fisher-price my first computer. I'd greatly prefer a windows style task bar, where things don't exist until they're opened, where it's small and out of the way. Going into the CLI has me trepidatious in the same way that, say, going into the registry on windows should have one cautious. The fix for one of my software-replacements involved reinstalling the OS from scratch (which at that point had been medium-customized, 60+ hours of time sink and headaches the entire while), at which point I switched back to windows.
