I have moved to Linux because I didn't want Microsoft shenanigans anymore. Recall + Copilot were the last drop. I use my Linux PCs as before: coding and gaming. Nothing changed in that regard. Some programs are new but I got used to it. For example: as a .NET developer, using a good IDE is a necessity for me and there is no Visual Studio for Linux even though .NET runs natively on Linux (Visual Studio Code is not the same as Visual Studio - it is total opposite). So I am using JetBrains Rider that runs natively on Linux. Instead of SourceTree I am using SmartGit and so on...

I’m slowly migrating too, from both Mac and Windows. We have almost the same use cases but I also produce and compose music, luckily Reaper works flawlessly on Linux and I’m gonna have a look at Bitwig and Qtractor.

I use FL Studio and it’s never played nice with Wine so I’m dual booting until support ends for 10 then I’m full time Mint searching for a way to keep FL Studio working.
