Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)? (lemmy.ca)

I'd like to hear people's journeys and motivations from people who switched over the last few months, and if there were particular challenges that were faced.

Yup. Switched to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I bought a new NVMe to install Linux on, and a USB enclosure to stick the Windows NVMe in, so I can run Autodesk Fusion and VCarve occasionally. (It boots fine off of USB.)

I write code and browse the web, mostly. Linux is fine for that. I wish more commercial software supported Linux.

I haven't run a single game on it, or even installed Steam, because I have a Steam deck. But I guess you could say I game Linux, too.

Hey the Steam deck counts. That's one more Linux device for prospective game developers to target.

CAD is still one area needing development, for sure.
