Switching to Linux for everyday computing...
The setup feels superior compared to other operating systems, thanks to the drivers, packaging, and integration. As an enthusiast, I’ve gained substantial experience, particularly with Nix servers and various CISCO certifications. University life is another matter altogether. I mentioned I really depend on Eclipse for other projects, and I have no alternative—my teammates use it too, and switching projects is often cumbersome, especially when we rely on Git. Still, I’m fine with terminal operations using Git for specific tasks. The main issue arises when basic OS setup becomes impractical, except for advanced distributions. In fact, I’ve customized many aspects of my system, trying Gentoo, Crux, Slackware, and even Wine. There are also GUI options available for both Linux and macOS.
There is steamplay feature. Just turn it on in Steam. It should work with Windows games on Linux, and possibly on Mac too. Give it a try.
I do not have any of these issues. I want program i install it. If it's not in repo i use AUR and theres is github: make make install What integration? My experience is great on linux and i have used windows and mac A LOT. They are too slow for me. Windows 10 is also spyware i won't use it. I won't use it to sign in on any of my accounts on windows . Mac ....... Mac is useless piece of software.
When you glanced at my earlier messages, you noticed that integrating discrete video cards on laptops is largely missing from most distributions. Manjaro offers a partial setup but isn’t complete. Regarding packaging, the eclipse problem was what I was referring to.
A common skill among tech-savvy people is adapting and using tools creatively. I still find it puzzling how some install software outside official repos or without installers. These aren't messy installations; the installer and package manager are often flawed because you're giving them control over your system. You can download Eclipse directly from its site and install it manually, adjusting the file paths yourself. As a system administrator, you should be equally adept at this. Eclipse also has its own update system, so it doesn't depend on external package managers. Be flexible and don’t rely on just one approach for everything.
