From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The lack of a good cad software (fusion 360), and no, freecad and openscad are not worthy equivalents.

From macOS: that the basics in UI are so much more consistent and just work. For example shortcuts across apps. This makes me insanely productive.

If I have to list a single thing that most irritates me on Linux then it is easily copying files to a USB connected drive.

The progress bar passes 100% and I get notification the files were copied but they were in fact not copied yet, it still takes several more minutes until I can actually unplug the connected drive or I'll lose the files.

I miss my computer's performance being held hostage by "Active Protection" feature of Virus scanner!

When I switched, about 23 years ago, I missed Moray - the modeller for POVRay.

OneNote.

That's really all. OneNote, on a windows tablet or foldable device with a proper stylus is the bee's knees for knowledge management.

You probably already know but just in case, xournal++ is a good alternative I've been using. Not quite as feature rich but does all the basics. Linux on a windows tablet is a surprisingly usable experience, if a little janky.

I kind of miss being able to play League of Legends, bit I guess staying away from that crack is a blessing in disguise.

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Not much really. Maybe being able to download random exes for silly shit, but I could always spin up a VM for that.

League of Legends 🥹 But I guess I'm gonna find some kind of virtualization alternative or perhaps doing a dual boot for it with a bogus windows system
