I migrated to Ubuntu from Windows 10 when it became end-of-life last year. I had a major head start beforehand because my work allowed me to dabble in Linux for a good 2 years beforehand, though! It’s been great! Pretty much everything that you “can’t do” on Windows has some sort of open source alternative. Can’t have Microsoft Office on Linux? Download Libreoffice for free! Can’t have Adobe Creative Cloud? Just download Krita and Kdenlive for free! Can’t have Microsoft Edge? What on earth do you want it for?? You don’t really need to use the terminal for most things, but it can make a lot of things much easier and quicker if/when you do get your head round it.

The only notable weak point is a few specific online videogames. Valve Anti Cheat really doesn’t play well with Linux (which is really dumb because Valve are so well known for supporting Linux). I’ve managed to get Left 4 Dead 2 playing online using “Steam Runtime 1.0 (scout)” but I haven’t found anything that works for Team Fortress 2. That being said, most other online games like Bloons TD6 and Worms WMD work perfectly natively, 90% of games released last year were natively Linux compatible, and the CEO of GOG said they’d like to support Linux more too, so even this is an improving situation!

Damn… Thanks though, at least I know it’s not just me!

I have something of a game going on where every time the US peeves me off, I delete something that profits them.

Trump threatens Greenland? I delete Deviantart

Trump threatens Canada? I delete Reddit

The ICE shooting? I delete Instagram

After hearing about this I just deleted Brave Mobile and switched to Vivaldi. If it stays this consistent I’m going to have to save up for an Ubuntu Touch phone.
