Goodbye Windows, Hello Linux [advice needed for a Linux workstation at home]
Gribo:
I am on the same boat as Free_Electron, as long as Linux doesn't run Altium, 3DS Max and Photoshop (It runs GIMP, so bye bye Photoshop) I stick to Windows.
Also, did anyone try Elementry OS? https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/12/a-tour-of-elementary-os-perhaps-the-linux-worlds-best-hope-for-the-mainstream/
Bud:
Thanks but no, thanks
--- Quote ---There's really no way to change the look and feel of elementary OS, and little way to customize the behavior of its default apps. It's a take it or leave it operating system—you either like it or you don't, and if you don't you're better off using something else than trying to tweak elementary OS to suit your whims

If you want a single option, chosen for you by people who are much more knowledgeable (according to them) about what you want and need than you are, then you should choose Mac or MS Windows.
If you want options and can make a choice between flashy cutting-edge and established reliable options, and are willing to decide what's best for you, then choose a Linux distribution. The easy one is Ubuntu, in that you can just go with the default and be OK.
(Note: this is intended only to address choices in the OS configuration, not use cases.)

That did not work for me either. I woke up one morning just to see to my horror the last ubuntu update TOTALLY has changed (read:screwed up ) the complete interface, because some ubuntu morons thought they know better what i need.

I woke up one morning to find out the future of Windows is as a tablet OS.
How is this any different?
