    I might have to switch to Linux soon. But I have no idea how to yet. This is forcing me to. Fucking hell. I pay for a product and they still insist on invading my privacy. Fuck American companies that do this shit man.

      I made the leap 2 years ago on both my gaming desktop and laptop. Running Garuda Linux and have loved it. The only ‘hole’ I’ve run into is fusion360 - i just can’t figure out freecad and autodesk really don’t seem to want their software running under wine…

      Find a well-supported distro (Debian, or Debian-based like Ubuntu and Linux Mint, is ideal - highly stable). Then go through your applications and look for Linux equivalents, or see if the companies behind the apps offer a version for Linux.

      I’ve been running Linux Mint Debian Edition (not Ubuntu-based) on my laptop for almost a year now. It’s now my go-to machine for pretty much anything I do outside of my gaming PC (which is also getting Linux Mint soon).
