Sadly, there are a few programs I can't run on Linux but I use it daily, no windows

  • Internet Download Manager (IDM): Yee, I know it may not increase your download speed but was kinda good to have the main folder of downloads and every file by category downloaded in a subdirectories: Images, Documents, videos, etc. Using JDownloader 2 but it's not the same
  • Affinity Designer: I know there is "Inkscape" but I still prefer affinity for it's UI and because I'm used to it
  • AMD Adrenaline: Yeah, maybe was a bloatware and shit but kinda liked the built in record feature and tweaks you could do

fair enough, nobody is forcing you to switch, but Inkscape is there, and i am pretty sure there is a replacement program for on-the-fly recording (never looked into it, i don't really play games like that)

I tried Xubuntu years ago because my PC was shit then kinda abandoned it, got tired of windows and installed Linux. After a big update, Linux broke and trying to reinstall it I... Picked the wrong partition and deleted windows lol

Inkscape is nice but in used to Affinity Designer and kinda love it. For Adrenaline I'm sure it exists but steam built-in feature is enough.

I love my Linux and fuck Micro$oft

I want to add here my deeply missed Playnite. There is nothing under Linux that comes close. I've settled for the combination of steam, heroic and lutris, but that is not even close for sure.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It doesn't support steam but what about Heroic Launcher

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

i already use heroic, but my issue is that there is nothing where i can add ALL games regardless of source; in playnite i was able to add everything from amiga 500 games over ps2 games to current pc games, with great costumisation, integration of steamgriddb, addition of pcgameswiki links, the ability to start scripts and programs at the launch and the end of the game, is well controllable by gamepad (heroics gamepad support works, but where your selection jumps if you press up or down is a bit of a mystery; and pressing b to return to your library after looking at a game places you cursor somewhere not clearly defined, not to the last selection.) and offers a huge selection of plugins.

While I don't know all the details, and as far as I know there has been no official statement that it will support Linux, the current rewrite of the codebase that is going on will at least allow much easier compatability with Linux. So there's hope :)

Most mainline Linux distro work pretty seamlessly with secureboot these days.
