I thought it’d be a pain but installing programs through the terminal is actually so nice, I never would have expected it

    I’m thinking of making Linux my daily driver apart for some software I need for work. People are super positive about it on here, but isn’t it still the case that some peripherals won’t work? Or that I’ll spend a ton of time making the system work instead of actually using the system?

    It would be for gaming that I’d use the Linux installation mostly.

      Speaking from personal experience but pretty universal one at that.

      Once terminal kinda “clicks” you will get the urge to tweak stuff. It happens because there is bunch “demo apps” that are just cool to mess around with but simply don’t get known on co-orperate OS. Check this as example.

      If games you play or tools you use can be fitted to linux, at some point you will port 80% of your workflow just messing around during the tweaking. Like when you do your first rice.

      And after that you can confidently chose if you want to add on to that or continue dualboot.
