For gamepass, you have to either give that up, play on Xbox, or stay with windows. That’s something that Microsoft’s will never support on Linux.

I wanted to try the Affinity suite but found it doesn’t work on Linux. I also tried running it via wine but had massive issues. I’d gladly pay if they release it for Linux. Until then, I’ll use free alternatives.
witness_me@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft no longer permits local Windows 10 accounts if you want Consumer Extended Security Updates — support beyond EOL requires a Microsoft Account link-up even if you pay $30English1·22 days agoJust curious, which software do you have to run on windows? I used to think alternatives for photography weren’t good enough but I changed my mind recently. Alternatives exist, but just like switching from windows, it requires the willingness to relearn how to do things I was used to in adobe lightroom and photoshop.
I’ll give a contrasting opinion.
I’ve used both Fedora and Manjaro extensively, and I prefer Manjaro.
The reason is that I prefer the package management of Arch more than fedora. I’ve had no issues finding what I need through the official arch repositories and the AUR (secondary choice).
Manjaro is a bleeding edge distro so keep that in mind. Personally, I’ve had no problems in the last year of running it.

I wasn’t expecting it to be that bad. WOW.
I have nightmares of ndiswrapper and Broadcom chipsets. Struggled for ages to try and make that work when I was running Suse Linux. :shudder:
I have a Synology NAS (from 3 years ago). My photos are synced from my iPhone via the Synology photos application and can be accessed from my Linux desktop via nfs.
I found alternatives for almost everything except Apple Music. I just connect my phone via Bluetooth nowadays to play music at a higher bitrate than what Apple allows via browser. Wish they would build an official client.

I needed to take a ride from the airport to my home, and uber quoted me $150 for a 30 min ride. I jumped into a waiting taxi and paid $90 instead. At least the cab driver would see a good chunk of that money.
More context, he said this on June 19th, the day Juneteenth is celebrated across America.
It’s a holiday to commemorate the end of slavery in America.
He obviously doesn’t want any holidays related to black people to be celebrated.
