minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish10•1 month agoI completely advocate for it. It costs you nothing but time and disk space. You can still run games from other sources with only slight tinkering. Open source is so beneficial for humanity and for gaming there aren’t really downsides for tons and tons of games. You lose all the spyware from microsoft, the incessant mandatory patching and upgrade notifications and loads of other things that provide no value. Nothing stops you from being able to dual boot windows or run it in a VM either.

minus-square@ValmondlinkEnglish3•1 month agoLots of/some soft doesn’t support it, like photoshop and 3dstudio, but it might work if you’re lucky!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish0•1 month agoAs an artist i quit photoshop a while ago cause it was just terrible for anything but indepth photo editing. And now irs terrible for anything since it just steals your art and you pay increasing yearly for it. Without the ability to cancel.
