![]() A small virtual machine for Lightroom may be easier than Wine, or try a commercial, supported fork like Crossover GNOME 3.22 has pretty great HiDPI and most GTK apps work very well with it + it looks great with the Arc theme + Numix icons I personally use both macOS and Arch Linux and am much happier with the Linux experience: Because out of the three big OSes, MacOS is clearly the general purpose operating system with the weakest hardware support of them all. Trying to arrest Linux for poor hardware-support in this scenario is a pretty weak hand to play, honestly. OSX works on maybe 3 models made by 1 vendor. So maybe that's just you being unlucky about your hardware? Hard to tell over an internet comment.īut let's be real here: Linux as a general purpose desktop OS mostly works on pretty much any hardware you throw at it. ![]() I've yet to experience any issues like this on any of my hardware, but I've been shopping around from Linux-friendly OEMs like Dell XPS laptops and Lenovo ThinkPads. Then it works but your wifi cuts off when you're playing music. > Sleep absolutely definitely will never work, unless you muck around in the kernel for a bit. Because if I wanted MacOS I'd run that, don't you think? > Linux on the desktop is nowhere near macOS.Īnd that's because it's a different OS. > Oh you'll find new entries for the list.Īgreed in a sense. ![]() It's just that the entry fee is still too high. With all of these disadvantages, though, the 'all the way down' reliability and no-bullshit you get from a Linux desktop (or server) is worth its weight in gold. Though Ubuntu (and to a much lesser extent, some others) have come light-years toward producing a consistent, coherent Linux desktop experience, it still lags painfully behind OSX and Windows. ![]() ![]() In the last 10+ years, my wifi experience on Linux has been very solid, often more solid than my OSX-using co-workers. Especially in the last decade, it often works without any low-level tweaking, and I can get it going in MOST cases without too much fuss. So, I can't directly disagree with most of what you said on point, except for sleep/hibernate/suspend. My desktop has dozens of 80x24 terminals and a big web browser window, typically running under I am very much of a 'back-end', 'server' kind of guy. I've been exclusively Linux as my desktop and laptop, personally and professionally, since the 1990s, and I manage Linux on laptops and desktops of some family members. ![]()
