I’m switching to back to Linux for the first time in 8 years. Grew up on Mandrivia for no reason other than that’s what my dad liked, got a MacBook for school, and now that my OS isn’t getting updates I want something fresh and free! Thinking of getting my toes wet with Linux Mint :)
Switching my main computer to Linux after finally having enought experience with freecad and being done with a school forcing us to use Autodesk programs
My answer is boring. Almost nothing. I feel like I finally have things dialed in. Except maybe my desktop experience. But beyond that the most i see myself doing is making some upgrades to my PC like a larger nvme drive since i edit with resolve on a 500GB nvme & if you’ve worked with clips in resolve on Linux you know how huge the files can be. One project can be 50 GBs.
This year I made the switch on my gaming PC (Windows to Arch). Next year, my target is replacing my CNC controller system, probably using raspbian on a raspberry model 3. That will bring the Windows count down to 1, which is about as low as my household can go.
LinuxCNC is rock solid. I am a career machinist of 20 years and have used it to run work horse production machines without fault for years. Setting it up can be a nightmare, though. The fact that the distro is Debian based makes the reliability amazing, even after power outages etc. Just make sure you have a dedicated GPU or weirdness can happen.
