What do I lose if I go from Windows 10 to Linux
>>109513117Spyware but in return you trannyware.
>>109513120Worth it, at least the trannies aren't charging me for jank software, Windows is fucking jank and it costs money.
I've been thinking of doing this rn actually. One thing i've noticed is middle click scroll is not on linux, but there's programs that return this. Little things like that, I'm seriously considering it because with ai it makes it extremely easy to troubleshoot, & there's never been less issues in general esp if you use something like cachyos from what i understand. The fact that just using windows kills your computer faster is reason enough to switch, they're literally raping your wallet in real time.
the short answer is the most pirated software on WindowsI am 90% committed to Linux though I have a small Windows 10 partition just because why not? Computers are tools and even though all my needs are met on Linux I do not care to tinker with Wine for FL Studio. Its easier for me to dual boot than do that.
>>109513117wallpaper engine doesn't really work on linux
>>109513117Looks like an android tabled. LMAO.
>>109513164 just ask ai & see if the things you use carry over. Gamepass doesnt carry over, photoshop doesnt, specific game anticheats dont yet. etc. >>109513177https://jstaf.github.io/posts/flstudio-on-linux/FL works but understandable-- getting it working is much easier with ai
>>109513117All proprietary creative software (adobe, certain daws, etc.) honestly this (>>109513177) don't bother dual-booting just use virtualbox or whatever the windows kvm thing is called. I have been full time on linux for 10 years fwiw
>>109513205why would you want that?
>>109513220FL Studio barely works.
>>109513177you can use reaper on linux
>>109513117you lose that expertise jeet coded software
>>109513117Adobe Suite.That's about it. Gaben does a great job on Proton.
>>109513117Your sanity.
>>109513117Office that runs on your computer
>>109513117You lose nothing. You gain free office apps and an image manipulation tool.
>>109513117your penis and your sanity
>>109513117if you need anything that only runs on Windows while you are using Linux, the only sane and practical option is to just spin up a VM granted your PC is not a piece of garbage. >Spin up VMware (its free you fuckwit)>Fire up Windows 11>shit out your shitty adobe art>press pause button>close vmonly total neets and jeets dual boot
>>109513205stfu KDE runs it, it runs fine on Kubuntu>>109513334>>109513310>>109513271>>109513177I will blow your minds retards, you spin up a VM if you need a windows only tool>WOW.webm
>>109513117gayming.That's the only reason I haven't switched to Linux yet + my computer can't dual-boot for some reasons.
>>109513444>inb4 wineSome of the my shit there don't work on wine.
>>109513444>>109513453see>>109513416you cretinsas per gaming, most of games work with proton or natively now, often better than on windows 11. But if this is a deal breaker and youd rather suffer the shit microslop winblows pushes down your throat because you are more comfortable that is okay, not everyone is straight
>>109513117Forced updates bricking your $10000 nvme.
>>109513444>>109513453what games do you play that don't work
>>109513481if lossless scaling works on linux, I would make the swap.My toaster of a PC can only play with lossless scaling nowadays.
>>109513495it's more of a game performance issues basically.>>109513496
>>109513496>nowadaysIt's all the fucking accumulated windows viruses slowing it down.
>>109513496>lossless scalingi dont know what that is bro, there are some things worth a sacrifice, or use ai to make money
>>109513521if it counts, I have a smaller laptop hook up on fedora for work. I just use my main pc for gayming.
>>109513117A huge DEI-administered corporate surveillance dildo from your anus.
>>109513504yeah every time i try to game on linux the performance is significantly worse than on windowsexcept for emulators, opengl is a lot better on linux
>>109513164>middle click scroll is not on linuxwtf is this real?
>>109513810Yes, but browsers support it with a toggle which is where most of your scrolling happens anyway. I think its like this because normally linux uses middle click for pasting. Guess with more optionality you have to think about what you want, but for all these little things rest assured there's a simple program to install & get it working.
>>109513416>VMs>willingly dedicating a portion of your resources to boot an entire operating system just to run one (1) programThat's cuck behavior, but then again so is using Windows.
>>109513117time
>>109513117>What do I lose if I go from Windows 10 to LinuxA penis if you had one.
>>109513117You won't be able to run reliably Office, Adobe, Vegas and other Windows-only proprietary software. Some of them can still run with Wine though, especially if you strip DRM or use older versions of the software. Another workaround to use them is using a Windows VM. Another thing that you will lose are multiplayer videogames that rely on kernel level anticheat (doesn't apply if Linux is whitelisted by the devs). On the positive side, you will lose all Windows telemetry, spyware and Microsoft installed backdoors.
>>109513160>he paid for windowsThats crazy dude. The full crack has been up on github since launch. Even the office one works 100%. They have to know but if they tried bricking anyone's shit everyone would be on Linux by the end of the day for good. Everyone except retards like you of course.
>>109513240>just use virtualboxHow does that work? I heard the new windows screen captures everything on your hard drive so its "AI assistant" can make "educated guesses" about what you want to do next, or some shit. Basically download your whole computer to Microslop and ran through a botnet to check for wrongthink and antisemitisms. Does running it in virtualbox prevent it from doing that? And does it just bork itself if it can't?
>>109513416>VM if you need a windows only toolNo hardware acceleration unless you use another GPU
>>109513117>What do I lose if I go from Windows 10 to LinuxYour anal virginity. On a serious note:>The feeling that someone is always sholder watching you>Bloat and unwanted software>The ability to play Kernel(!) Anti Cheat games>Non web versions of Office365>Native Adobe software
>>109513117>What do I lose if I go from Windows 10 to LinuxI've run LInux for 5 years now, ever since Windows refused to run large USB drives efficiently and would lag to unusability.You need to be careful with USB drive format and filenames, NTFS format has some bugs that can make the drive halt in Linux, no data loss, just need to unplug it and scandsk fix it. Linux also allows weird filename characters that will make Windows barf and make disk corruption, so be careful about filenames. Scandsk all USB drives on a routine basis just in case.
>>109513334>Office that runs on your computerrunning MSOffice was torture, if I never have to use it again for the rest of my life, I will be happy. I pity anyone that is forced to use daily.
>>109513929you are retarded if you don't have spare few GB on a VM, less cuck behavior than running windows>>109514189you do not need anything on windows that has GPU acceleration retard stop larping, photoshop and other garbage like word exel doesnt need it, like i said you enter, do your business and leave. also some VMs have passthrough, you dumb.if you want to be pedantic then run proxmox linux, then your whole machine is built around VMs with passthroughs

Just install Ubuntu or Fedora like a sane person and move on with your day.
>>109513810>>109513820On KDE Wayland, you can enable a feature where holding the middlemousebutton and moving the mouse acts a bit like scrolling on a trackpad. It's not the same as autoscroll but I find it a better solution for scrolling through large amounts of content. Feels a bit more natural and is easier to control because it's just mapping mouse movement to scroll movement, as opposed to having a virtual joystick to control. It also works everywhere as opposed to Windows autoscroll which always only worked in like two applications.Note this will make it impossible to press&hold middlemouse in other applications (clicks are fine, just press&hold) so if you have an application that needs this functionality this might not be for you. I wonder if it's possible to toggle this functionality for specific window classes somehow.
>>109513117You lose random winblows crash and gain stability
>>109513117My FBI-assigned agent overseeing all my activity was replaced with AI, so nowadays I only miss the ads in the startup menu.Arguably MSI afterburner (why the FUCK is overclocking nvidia missing in Wayland???) but I have a 5080 so power limiting alone is fine for 4k, even if it costs me ~10% fps instead of like 2% when I can OC memory
>>109513117>What do I lose if I go from Windows 10 to Linux?All the Windows related spyware and telemetery, depends on what you use your pc for.Maybe the ability to play some older modded games I guess, thats my only gripe atm with Linux.
>>109513416KDE is buggy, bloated and looks childish imho, but I do wish Gnome had a decent wallpaper engine like Windows.
>>109516118>buggysure>bloatedmakes sense>looks childishwhat
>>109513400real vs fake
>>109513810Yes, troonix users will come with a lot of excuses, install this third party something or use this combination of clicks. The fact is loonix don't have middle mouse click in 2026.
>>109516167>>looks childishwhatToo ricey, for edgy teens.
>>109514257>>Non web versions of Office365This is really the only thing holding me back. I need those apps daily for my work. I've tried switching to google docs or libreoffice but that shit is just not the same. >>109515725But come to think of it, I've spend way more time troubleshooting linux quirks than being frustrated at windows. I power my pc on, windows just werks and I can do actual work on it. Linux feels more like a funny hobby or quirky alternative in that sense.
>>109513117you lose performance in DirectX 12 gaymesthats literally it
>>109513117You lose the ability to run some Windows software. Especially software that depends on Windows drivers, such as anti cheat programs. Proprietary shit WILL cause issues. If you rely on Microsoft 365 shit - Teams, OneDrive, Outlook (especially for Calendar) - good fucking luck. Microsoft made this as painful as possible. Mods are also hit or miss, if you're like me and you play old shit that depends on DLL overrides, good fucking luck. Complete coin toss.Some obscure hardware that doesn't have Linux drivers might not work.You're much more on your own. Even the user friendly Linux distros expect you to be a proper sysadmin. Sometimes shit will just break and you will have to figure out why. I really think you should use btrfs, configure the system to make regular snapshots and add them to grub so you can quickly revert to a working config when, not if (it will) your system fucks itself. But in exchange, you're getting rid of Microjeet's vibe coded shit OS, all the three letter agency and ad-jew surveillance shit you can't turn off, performance will be better, the system is much more customizable (yes, even gnome. learn about extensions) so when something annoys you, you can actually change it rather than just quietly malding about it...
>>109513117productivity
>>109514166Dont bother with VirtualBox. It is bloated, confusing, slow and has a learning curve that just isnt worth it.Just use KVM/QEMU. Runs best, is free and natively supported by Linux.
>>109516302>linjeet larping about privacyevery time
>>109517073Dumbest meme of the century award.All the shit applies to Windows + the telemetry microsoft admits about + possibly the secret telemetry they dont tell you about
Due to my 'tism, I decided to quadruple down on Windows, specifically Windows 7 and VISTA; YES, VISTA!!!Vista and 7 just look gucci ((((:I use manually slimmed Windows 10 on my gaming PC due to obvious reasons, Windows 7 on my Xeon TempleOS system and Windows Vista on my E6600 system that I use to benchmark the code I make and optimize it if it consumes too many resources and takes too much time to finish in a controlled environment; I rewrite my code from scratch if I can get 0.03% more speed out or less resources out of it - every byte must justify its existence.If I see some linux gay nigger atheist praising its gaylord leader Linus Torvalds and his secular "operating system" that barely functions and is filled with tranny code, just know that you are a NIGGERLICIOUS NIGGER CATTLE and YOU DESERVE THE BULLSHIT "SYSTEM" THAT YOU'VE "RICED" AND ALL OF ITS OS-BREAKING BUGS

>>109513117You lose mspaint, the good one if you're using windows 10
>>109513117Depends entirely on what you actually run.GPU: On Radeon, you're a first-class citizen on Linux. You'll get roughly 90% of Windows performance up to beating it, depending on the games you play. On nvidia, Turing (RTX 20 / GTX 16) or newer is fine for the most part.Games: Anti-cheat is the real issue, and it's a publisher choice. EAC and BattlEye both have working Linux runtimes; devs have to enable them. Check ProtonDB or AreWeAntiCheatyet and compare it to your library to see the situation.Apps: No Adobe suite. No desktop MS Office (you'll have to use Only Office or LibreOffice as replacements). Resolve is native, but the free version won't do H.264/AAC. If your workflow is locked to any of those, don't switch.Peripherals: OpenRGB, CoolerControl, and liquidctl cover most fans/AIOs/RGB. Boutique controllers and AIO LCD screens are hit or miss; look up your specific hardware first.What you get: A lighter OS with no telemetry and no forced updates.But I'm also not going to sit here and pretend that Linux is a plug-and-play experience. If you use a computer beyond turning it on and opening a web browser, you will eventually have to tinker, and if you don't have the tolerance for that, Linux probably isn't for you
>>109513117>What do I lose if I go from Windows 10 to Linuxjudging by that picture i'd say your gender
>>109515711cachy is german thoughbeit
>>109513117no more adverts in the os, no more forced updates, no more forced ai agent slop in the os, your laptop battery life might be better depending on if you have the most compatible hardware (nvidia sucks on linux, amd and intel are good) because you won't have background updates and "antimalware service executable" wasting your cpu, etc.blah whatever. everything sucks, linux sucks, but it probably sucks less than windows.
>>109513117just use both there's no downsides. Drives boot in like 5 seconds now and used laptops are 150$ online
My only real problem was with Microsoft teams because the web version sucks ass and I didn't want to try running through wine. Everything else just works.
>>109513117Nothing. Unless you're a professional graphic designer or videographer (and let's face it, if that were the case you'd be using macOS) you truly lose nothing. What you will gain is a new skill set, and an understanding of how to do the same things in a different way. Truthfully, with AI there is no better time to be a Linux user. One of the major bonuses to using Linux has always been that if some program is missing a feature you want/need, or you don't like the way it does something, you could download the source and change it but the catch was that you needed to be a programmer to do it. Now with AI that's no longer the case. You can download the source, then fire up codex or opencode in the source dir and tell it what you want and it'll make that happen.
>using gnomeyou'll probably start hating your computer, meaning you're likely to use it less, which in turn can be a good thing.there's an use case for it, if there ever was one

>>109513117nothing really you spend 99% of your time on a browser anyways so the underlying operating system is rarely relevant anymore
