For me its honestly a ton of my work software (digital forensics), shit is too niche to be replaced by good FOSS options. Cellebrite, Magnet Axiom, etc. Autopsy is great and free and has a linux version but it simply cannot get the same level of data without a pretty nutty level of custom code.
And the biggest side effect of this is FUCKING WINDOWS. God I would replace this nightmare OS in a heartbeat if the aforementioned work software would make linux compatible versions. We have legitimately wasted 10k hours dealing with windows bullshit that would not be a problem in linux. Though im sure linux would take a different 10k for its own problems.
What about you guys? Doesn’t have to be work related, thats just the thorn in my side right now.
Only if you’re concerned with gaming on Linux. Nvidia drivers aren’t open source so it’s a bit of a finagle to have Linux utilize Nvidia GPUs to their fullest. Otherwise it shouldn’t be a huge deal. I prefer AMD because the drivers are wrapped up into the kernel so I’ve never had issues. But intel does have quicksync capabilities which is pretty nice for plex stuff. Otherwise nah
