In the past i have used different desktop environments to suit my workflow and found that Cinnamon was a happy in between to the simplicity and stability of Gnome but offers great customize ability similar to KDE, the graphical issues mentioned in this video i have not experienced using Linux Mint with the Cinnamon environment. Should try it!

I switched to Linux a long time ago, but I don't remember expecting everything to work perfectly within 30 days. It's a different operating system, and all you're doing is complaining that it doesn't work like windows. Linux is not Windows. And being able to manipulate windows is actually one of Linux's strengths. You just have to learn how to use it on whatever distro you're using. Furthermore, you can't blame Linux for supporting your software if you're using proprietary software. Davinci Resolve has to support their product, not the other way around. But, if all you're going to do is complain about your time spent, I don't think you're going find much sympathy in the Linux community or Forums. We all got our own time to worry about, too. Normally, I would encourage people to switch, but if all you're going to do is make complaint videos, I don't think I want to hear it. 😄

On the GIMP subject, I'm still a big GIMP user, but, Krita is FAR superior. Still free, still open-source, but, better in soooo many ways.

Sounds like this guy needs a different distro

Lagunitas is owned by Heineken now, they're not really a microbrew anymore. 😢 Still better than ICE though.

What I wish creators realized that theirs is very much a niche use case. As it stands, every "My Linux Expecrience" or "Why I can't use Linux" video basically boils down to "I need Adobe for work". Most everyone else basically needs the OS to run a browser and get out of the way otherwise. And please, stop cobbling together your system. Downloading software from websites and installing manually will bite you eventually. Nvidia drivers are a prime example for that. You should start from a distro that supports your use case. It sounds like you might be a lot happier on KDE.

You overstated the linux hardware driver problem. It's almost all there, you'd have to be using something odd to not have a driver. Like an industrial printer, for instance. All of the things 99.9% of people are gonna use, have no problems with drivers and getting linux to work with their hardware. That's why you didn't have any trouble.

The windowing problem you encountered is specific to zorin and maybe gnome in general but the window manager or compositor have different features between desktop environments and can be modified by extension like you did with popos tiling features. There are some extensions to make gnome have features like fancy zones. Après une petite recherche "tiling shell" a l'air d'être l'extension Désirée.

For resolve it should be able to resize no problem so it is a problem specific for your situation but it should be noted that it does work and that was probably related to the window manager and maybe because zorin relies on some old package.

I agree to say that Photoshop and Gimp do not compare, but for most users Gimp will do the job. You are an exception and a poweruser. Linux distro's are mostly not for powerusers, but Mac and Windows do, mainly because you have to pay a lot of $ for the needed software. Keep in mind that almost all Linux applications are free. In this philosophy i can stay that i use Linux (Debian derivatives) on a daily base for more than 17 years now. No Windows or Mac in sight 😀

Can I run Photoshop in Linux ? I don't want to run it using _Wine_ because i am a Muslim

Why does it need to be always an issue with GNOME and Server-Side Decorations!?!? I've never had issues on KDE with Resolve. Linux has been getting better, and for those of us that have daily driven the operating system for years it's refreshing to see someone give an unbiased take on the current state of things. Maybe you can try again in a few more years?

I've been using linux for a year and half and GIMP also does NOT fulfill my needs.... there's this progressive web app called Photopea that did fill my needs however! Doesn't have everything but can't hurt to try. It's all web based, no installation required, so give it a go 😄

I am with you on the major comments of making the Linux community upset. I as a long time PC user and enthusiast. have seen software companies come and go. I never minded paying for my software. Ya sometimes fell the price is to high and shopped around looking for cheaper and better software. But I do not mind paying for them. That seems to be taken as an insult to the Linux community. I do not feel that I should apologize for that. However, I feel they should listen. This is why Linux software never gets any better.

Ok but how is the Linux or Mac community going to help you out with software support? It's like asking why doesn't my hatchback have the same boot space as my truck. Here's my software suggestion - just keep using Windows if you expect Windows features 1 to 1 on every system

65 USD? A RasPi for ONE sensor? Use an ESP8266 with Tasmota for your sensor and the RasPi to control and MQTT / SNMP bridge. The RasPi can read dozens of sensor modules. Const only a fraction of your solution...

It isn't the fault of Linux, that Adobe chooses not to support it. Would I be a conspiracy theorist to consider Apple and Microsoft have likely financially persuaded Adobe and most others, NOT to provide for the Linux platform?

Jeff, if all you need is still image processing, Dark Table will edit your images quite well, I replaced Lightroom with it when adobe went to a subscription.

im on the linux 2 year challenge right now, loving it.

I LOVE X99 XEONS! You didn't mention it here, but Overclocking (yes some have unlocked multipliers) I get INSANE Value out of my 1650 v3 I live stream sim racing all day with it. ( 1080p)

Use kubuntu stable supported and using KDE plasma that has native super window management with configurable snap windows.

Average user does not need fancy adobe programs or other niche things. I understand that people have programs they are used to, but invest time to learn alternative and problem solved. If you can't - stay on windows/mac. Also, I suspect many of your issues exist because you chose GNOME for desktop environment.

Oh and the lack of software support will always bee there to a small level but it will be massively reduced by having a large % of people swap I've swapped over hundreds of basic users that just do crap like browse the web email youtube etc I have swapped to mint with a win7 skin to make it look more familiar and only 2 had ever really understood they were not using windows anymore!

I believe the term is called curse of knowledge, it's not that people are elitist, it's just that they assume you are as educated as them on a specific topic. but then again linux communities can be elitist and rude as well, life is beautiful

As for AAC OGG Vorbis ftw and crapintosh can kiss my hairy ass

No it's not the same as PS but there are better alternatives to use that are kickass like davinci resolve And the same can be said for virtually ALL winbloze apps One of the last hurdles is the fuktarded DRM shit

Crashing all the time? Sound like the usual Intel i9 cooking itself. They tend to do that. Check if you are eligible for a warranty replacement. Some BIOS versions make this worse.

Once you've licked the penguin you'll never go back to window licking.

I daily drive Linux for my general usage laptop. This is the laptop I use for general web browsing, bill paying, financial management....typical home management items That said, I also use it to manage my homelab's vmware server cluster. I did have to rely on Wine to install my IPMI utility but outside of that, there's a native VMWare client for remotely viewing my VMs console sessions so that's sweet. I also use it for some light gaming relying heavily on Proton's compatibility layer via Steam and also using the Heroic Launcher to interface with the Epic Games and play those Windows native titles also via the proton compat layer. But that's only for the rare occasions when I don't feel like sitting in the office on my Windows powered gaming rig. Big shoutout to Valve and the Proton team for this huge benefit to the Linux gaming community! Oh and to the SteamDeck for making Linux gaming mainstream even though not all of the customers realize they're gaming on Linux

I don't know about image editing but as an artist that's been through the gamut of commercial digital paining software Krita is the best on BY FAR.

I've laughed at "Just run Gimp! It's basically the same thing" LOL For us Linux users who occasionally perform the simple one-off, small scale, very-minor, image manipulations, Gimp is perfectly fine. For people who are industry pros that rely on very specific Photoshop-only tools or other applications from the Adobe CC suite, it's a devastating downgrade.

Both LInux and Windows have their positives and negatives, having a multioperating system setup with both is the best option in my opinion. Linux does provide a lot more freedom yet at the cost of dealing with all the detailed nuts and bolts of running things efficiently which can be very time consuming, frustrating and sometimes lead to a dead end where you simply have to give up on it and stop wasting time. If your primary goal is to run specific programs and be productive doing such, Windows will often save you a lot of time configuring things. Windows does run most open source software available in Linux and sometimes just as good without getting into complex drive installation issues. One good example is the program Blender. Blender has a feature using the rendering option Cycles that requires specific installation of drive components that makes use of GPUs (such as; HIP, CUDA-depending on the type of graphic card being used). To get this feature in Linux working properly is a lot of extra complicated installation procedures and time consuming,. To make matters more time consuming Linux updates could set you back to square one repeating the process over again. Oddly enough Blender was originally designed as open source software to run on Linux yet Windows provides a lot easier use of the full features. I would assume that if Linux did not have so many different flavors and forks there would be better support from graphic cards manufacturers such as Nvidia and AMD-Radeon. Since every different Linux OS has some minor differences providing support for hundreds of different operating systems would cost a fortune in labor and development costs. So the trade off is with LInux you get a lot more choice and freedom, having different desktop environments available for your operating system is a plus, yet at the cost of less support for hardware due to the pressure from shareholders of porprietary profit making businesses that only support the operating systems that are most popular in use.

Hear hear at your ‘rant’ at 13 minutes.

If you put a USB interface on this that could interface with UPS units, that would get me to shell out $100 for that device.

I've never found Windows even the least bit usable. Linux just works.

Im ditching windows for everything but work that I need it for.

The problem is that Linux is just a kernel. We need to think of the Linux kernel as a car chassis that is used to build a car. The same car chassis used by Volkswagen and Audi can result in two very different cars that behave differently and give you a different experience. It's the same with Linux. Unfortunately, you've experienced a lot of Gnome issues that you won't experience if you go for example with Linux Mint or with a KDE desktop environment distro. This is why the Linux experience can be VASTLY different.

I am doing this on Enterprise 21H2 and I had to install hyper-v before I could run any "vm-" commands. If you are getting errors try installing hyper-v first

I would suggest you to try a distro that runs KDE, as I think is thje best suited for new users with a wide range of options, great video!

I've tried linux as a daily driver, but not all of my games were compatible. Rebooting to switch between windows and linux just isn't worth it. Been trying to get rid of windows for a long time, but it just refuses to go.

I recommend checking out Krita for photo editing software Photoshop and other Adobe products might be good but with the recent changes to the TOS I really think no one should continue using them. GIMP, on the other hand, is awful with its UI/UX like I don't think it is actually possible to professionally use that application. As for literally all your problems with window management and a lack of maximize,minimize and close buttons on davinci resolve that is because of gnome what Zorin uses by default. I recommend trying out KDE and if you can really invest the time, configure and learnk a tiling window manager as those are the best when it comes to controlling your workflow as you want it and not how a company thinks it should be. As for nvidea and AAC, yea not much can be done. Nvidea is improving, not because of Nvidea themselves though. Other issues related to Discord and Zoom are due to them being flatpaks and being sandboxed as you mentioned, as Zorin OS is Ubuntu based both of those have native deb versions available so I'd recommend try those.

The problem for me for daily driving linux and whats stopping me is some games with anti cheats like cod and VR steamvr is kinda crap on linux (for now) and i play vrchat alot and that also has problems like a memory leak issue If vr gets fixed ill be fine with dual booting but for now im stuck on windows which i hate because i cant tinker the hell out of it

Look at the Gnome shell extension gSnap, I think it's just the right thing to get your window arrangement as you like.

I was having the same issue with my pc when the weather improved, got so bad that it was shutting down within seconds of starting up. Got my thermal paper in the mail the next day, cleaned off the old paste and am now enjoying a 20C reduction in temps and NO more random shutdowns.

Im a Linux user for a month, dualbooted mint for some time before fully switch when i learned of Recall. That broke the camels back. Mint was an obvious choice for me. Cuz it was very windows like. Hadnt switched back since.

WSL my friend, this is the way

Suggesting gimp to someone looking to make photoshop work is a dick move. But suggesting gimp to someone looking for an alternative to photoshop is very reasonable, in my opinion. You'd have to specify the use cases that gimp doesn't cover, which I'd actually be curious to know. I've been practicing with gimp for the past few weeks and there's only one thing that I miss: non-destructive editing. Gimp's "paths" feature kind of enables it, but it's got a long way to go. I looked up how photoshop does on that regard but didn't see any signs that it's better. Also, I hate adobe and not having any software made by them right now is a big plus.

Second biggest city in WA is Spokane, WA not Vancouver, WA and it would be Oregon's 2nd biggest city. Kind of worrying how confidently wrong you are about something as simple as population statistics for the region where you reside. Yikes.

i am not sure if you ever tried Krita , but its an option , i dont know if it has features that you need tought, and maybe some Blender plugins exist that would solve your stuff ,,,, Hope it helps a bi t

Thank you!
