I’m going to give you the secret to switching. Go all AMD for your build, and leave everything you know about Windows software and how it works at the door. Learn to use Linux. Expecting it and Linux software to work like Windows is the pitfall.
To be fair. In my experience, everything mostly does work like in windows. But I always think it’s like attributing Windows switching to Linux as Mac to Windows.
Mac users are used to not dealing with the registry, lusrmgr, local group policies in the same way Windows users aren’t used to dealing with fstab, grub, proton, wine, various desktop environment tweaks.
Fan control. MSI after burner. Nvidia drivers.
Windows 10 gaming desktop
Mint laptop
Fancontrol-gui, corectl, yeah nvidia drivers still suck but are improving.
Literally just steam VR in home streaming is all I need to fully dump windows.
It’s TruckersMP for me because it’s built on .NET libraries and I can’t get truckersmp-cli to load my DLCs for whatever reason :|
I keep a windows LTSC install around purely for Escape from Tarkov. Everything else I play works great on Linux.
Tax perp software was the only thing I needed it for in the last year. I haven’t converted my gaming PC to Linux yet, but I don’t anticipate an issue.
Fusion 360
Cubase
Msm flash tool, I need windows for this
Msm flash tool
If that’s all you need. I bet you could just run it from WINE. I updated my PS5 controller using the PlayStation flash tool or whatever it’s called. I used Bottles to do all the WINE stuff. Just installed the flash tool and it worked like it was Windows. Pretty shocked if I’m being honest.
I’ve to do usb passthrough to use msm tool, but I’ll try since you said it worked for u.
With WINE you wouldn’t need USB pass-through. Only if you are passing the hardware into a Virtual Machine. The pass-through just tells the Host system not handle the device. But you actually want the HOST system to handle the device. WINE is just translation, not virtualization. (or Emulation, haha)
P.S. USB pass-through does work really well in VM’s. If WINE doesn’t work for you. You could always keep around a Windows VM for the occasion you need the msm flash tool.
Bruh I tried that now my phones isn’t turning on anymore fuck
You have a OnePlus device? You can go to EDL mode to unbrick.
I have to keep a spare bootable drive laying around for these muppet companies who only have firmware update mechanisms on windows, my monitor and thunderbolt dock being two that come to mind.
Valorante :(
I side-loaded Mint for a couple hours just to goof around, and then . . . never booted Windows again, quite literally forgot it was installed three days later
Sounds just like my last dual boot setup, as well.
I believe I said “I’ll just boot back to Windows next time I want to play…this game…that just launched and played perfectly under Proton…or…this other game…which also works…huh…”
I did it as long as gaming kept me there. Now I can play pretty much anything on my Linux machine. Forza fucked up. But whatever. It’s a not a game to die for.
Fusion 360 for me. Freecads incredibly user unfriendly, openscad is missing functionality and performance, and blender isn’t great for engineering modeling
There are dozens of us. Surely someone can figure out how to port F360 to Linux, or make a functional clone
I’ve been thinking about it, but it is a crap ton of work
id bet it works on wine
Yeah…, gamepass 🥲 the only thing that holds me there at the moment.
Indeed it is brother… indeed it is.
Lmao stealing this
