True, yeah. I think if I tried to fully switch over, it might slow down my workflow trying to make it work. What I should do is buy/build a new PC for work. A lot of people are suggesting a MacBook which might be good.

Alright sweet. I'll take a look at it.

I agree. I built my first mini itx case for my living room PC and while I look at it now and thought it was fun, it was a headache to put together at the time. I bought a Fractal Design Ridge and if you wanted to change something, you essentially have to take the whole thing apart. I love how it looks though.

I'm a little conflicted if I like mini ITX or micro ATX better. I used a micro ATX for my media server and thought it was a little too roomy for my needs but is SO much easier to build with.

Oo okay sweet! Mac OS doesn't seem too bad now.

This is probably the best thing to do for me. I could also get an older laptop to tinker with Linux on.

I really want to find a decent laptop that I can tinker on. I have a raspberry pi laying around too. I might do that.

Yeah, you are right. I am thinking about maybe buying a MacBook since my school I'm transferring to will require one anyway. Having that be my school and work laptop only will probably help with productivity too.

Well, I sort of do work on two devices for work and gaming. I have a decent windows laptop that I use at work and have my main rig for everything else.

As much as I dislike a lot about Windows, I think you are right. If I am in the graphic design industry, I will need to use Windows. Adobe will probably never port to Linux so I will always have to use it in some shape or form.

I mainly work with illustrator and Photoshop but I occasionally edit videos on Premier Pro.

Yeah, I heard Wine does not work well with Adobe products. I haven't tried it though.

True! I am still going to college and the school I will be transferring to requires a MacBook so I have to get one anyway.

Does Mac OS have the same issues as Windows where settings change each update? That is my major annoyance with Windows.

My main reason why I want to switch to Linux is because I am tired of Windows installing MS software and resetting some of my settings whenever it updates. It's a constant game of cat and mouse. Privacy is another issue but I have came to the realization that the only way to be private is to go off grid. Everything spies on you and it's something that will only get worse sadly.

Getting a MacBook might be a good option to be honest. I am still in college and transferring soon. The art school requires a MacBook so I would have to get one anyway. My main goal is to try steer away from Windows. I am tired of it installing MS software and resetting some settings every update. I'm not sure if Mac OS does something similar though.

Niagara launcher. A man of taste, I see.

Niagara launcher is my all time favorite launcher. I don't think I can live without it now.
