@naaackers: I can't switch to Linux, and here's why that matters for your workflow too. My entire production pipeline runs on 23 pieces of software and hardware that either don't exist on Linux or have deal-breaking limitations. We're talking Arc browser syncing with iOS, Adobe Lightroom Classic managing my photo library, Blackmagic's proxy generator automating my media ingest, and Beacon's mic software doing things no Linux alternative can touch. All my Elgato gear needs proprietary software, and while DaVinci Resolve technically works on Linux, it's missing the Epidemic Sound plugin I use to inject music directly into my timeline. I need tools like MELD Studio for streaming, LightBurn for my laser cutter, iPhone mirroring for iOS-only business apps, and Raycast because I'm useless without it. The last one's going to trigger you: Microsoft Outlook Classic, and yeah, I know how that sounds. - - switch to linux, switching to linux. macOS, windows 11 vs linux, MacOS vs linux, linux as a content creator, content creator setup, Linux deal breakers #TikTokLearningCampaign #TechTips

Linux is fine, until you actually need to use professional software and hardware.

linux users: “you don’t wanna use this niche piece of software that replaces your widely supported industry standard software, so you’re lazy and tech illiterate” like i’m not showing up using libre office to a project when everyone is using microsoft office 😭

so it's just "I'm to lazy to switch and I caged my self in Adobe Programms that have a unsubscribe fee"

You literally consumed yourself into a rut. I’m sorry mate. I get it, you want to get the stuff that ”just works” but that mentality has made you choose products that are proprietary. I could go Linux tomorrow and all my specialty apps have Linux support or have a better than windows alternative.

My reasons why I “can’t” switch to Linux… no workaround for egpu and no community fixes for egpu other than for Windows

Stream Deck absolutely works on Linux, there's open source software for it called open deck, that's just as good as elgato's software for it, though with the capture card I absolutely understand not switching to Linux, and for 3D design for 3d printing and what not, there's a browser/cloud based 3D design tool called onshape

all comments here saying "skill issue" had probably never used professional software here before or don't even know the alternatives for your software as well or if they're even good

to be fair, desktop notion IS just the browser version, if you really want it to be an app, you can make it one a headless browser window.

This entire comment section is full of “ ummmm actually “. Which if you didn’t know, is the official motto of Linux.

If you’re using macOS what’s the problem? You still have zsh, homebrew and apple hardware. This is a non issue.

Swap out Logi+ for either Steermouse or BetterMouse. And yes, I’m talking MacOS apps
