PewDiePie made a video on why he installed Linux and explained why everyone should do it too. Due to his number of followers, this might be the year of the Linux Desktop? Hooray?

    I have, we’re a multi-OS houshold. Linux, Steam Deck, Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android.

    Different tools for different purposes. You wouldn’t have just one kind of screwdriver, right?

      I get having Linux and Windows, after all you need a backup solution for when you can’t use Linux. But why do you also have a Mac?

      Then I guess iOS makes sense if you have a Mac, but why also have Android?

          Windows for interoperability.

          Try job hunting without a Windows machine. Good luck!

            Are you using a real browser or just Safari?

            I used to do web development, Safari is honestly worse then IE6

              It’s godawful, so many things don’t work in Safari and it’s because Apple can’t stand other people coming up with “standards”. :)

              I don’t even know whether I understand I just hear MacOS users griping about fullscreen, and a quick google gave quite recent results. Especially with fullscreen being incompatible with other windows on top (each fullscreen window necessary is on its own workspace) which would be highly annoying in Blender. You can configure blender to have file open dialogues, render results etc. in its main window, but certain stuff like preferences always open a second one.

      No.
      But if I only need a specific screwdriver cause none other fit these screws, it costs $200 and plays ads while I hold it, then I’ll use different screws instead.
