For me the only reason I don’t fully switch over is apps like photoshop and illustrator. There’s lots of FOSS that does the exact same function, but I’m very used to the keyboard commands and workflow of adobe so it’s hard for me to fully switch.
That said, I run Ubuntu and Fedora as daily drivers for like 95% of my daily computer needs. Just have to boot into windows every now and then for those things.
Can always run a linux distro with a windows VM in virtualbox to access those softwares when you need them.
I do the exact opposite rn but my plan is to switch them... whenever I get around to it......
Ya i totally could and tried that out in the past but it added so much extra time and complication to it all that I found it just didn’t make sense for me to work that way. Dual boot is a pain but if im doing any serious graphic design stuff I usually just boot into windows.
Photopea is amazing though and has cut down the need to dualboot by more than half for me :)
Yeah dual boot is probably also bad long term for your drives if you switch frequently enough.
I havent switched the host and guest either because of how much work will have to go into configuring so I get that too.
Just looked up photopea and that's interesting I'll have to try it out!
