I really dislike windows (and the likelihood of people on Lemmy having the same preference as me is very high), but if you need to do game development or most creative work, I would say to not bother with Linux, it’s not there yet to be fully honest. Maybe in 5 years Photoshop and the music creation software will support Linux, but for now there’s a few lesser known softwares that don’t have as many features. For the other kinds of work though, Linux I think is better than windows
DaVinci Resolve is pretty good. Works on linux and certainly has more features than I need by a long shot. I think Adobe products are the main bottleneck for creative work on linux. Though, the Adobe set of products are so darn expensive, it’s really not a great solution if literally anything else can do the job instead.
I don’t know, you can get Photoshop and Lightroom for £10 a month, which is very cheap when you compare it to a night out or a takeaway, and at the moment, they’re better than the equivalents.
I do need to have another look at DaVinci Resolve though. I’ve heard loads of good things about it, but it was overkill for what I needed when I last tried it :)
Resolve is basically the only “professional-grade” software for creative work on Linux, and even there depending on hardware like video card the experience will be vastly different
