@lemmy.worldYes I think you're right, there's probably a significant overlap in the target audience of GOG and Linux users. I guess the reason why GOG hasn't released a Linux version of GOG Galaxy might be because a large portion of their catalogue is Windows and doesn't want to include something like Proton or Wine support. I don't think it absolves them from criticism however.
I love this comment! Yeah it's true, I'm the arch linux user you're describing! So is there a good middle ground according to you? Where we can have faster updates, high application support and high customization without the downsides of arch that you describe?
If you have several kernels you might want to disable the fallback kernels. You do so in the .preset files in /etc/mkinitcpio.d/
But yeah this is the downside of using flatpaks. That's why I think it's better to avoid flatpaks and other similar sandbox environments. I know the Linux community are desperate for the increased stability and supposed benefits to security but you're paying the price in worse performance and high disk usage.
Personally it hasn't worked well for me. Currently I can't even use it since it crashes my system.
Not even MS alone, it seems that my American colleagues are vendor locked in several different ways. It's a bit bewildering honestly.
Well it depends on your DE. If you run Gnome, you will probably be fine. If you run Plasma you can run into problems but supposedly Plasma 6.0 is going to release with full Wayland support at the end of this year (or beginning of next one) so lets hold our thumbs for that.
Personally I've ever only used Gimp even when I was on Windows. I wonder what gimp could possibly even do better to compete with photoshop. There's also krita of course which is very popular but I've never tried it, gimp has just been everything I've ever needed from a drawing program.
I use Lutris to install my GOG games, Battle.NET, EA launcher, and Ubisoft Play. It's a very simple solution.
What a problem to have when your engineering team's skill set are vendor locked. Not that I'm familiar with autodesk or why you absolutely have to use it, but your engineers could perhaps learn to use blender and use a Linux desktop environment and potentially save a lot of money in licenses and subscriptions.
