    I occasionally use Autodesk Inventor and Photoshop still. I’ve got a Windows 10 LTSC virtual machine set up just for that. I don’t even let it connect to the internet. Any file I need to work on in there I just drag and drop them in and out of the VM. It’s like keeping a pet Windows that you can use whenever you need it but it’s kept confined in a vivarium so it cannot wander into your house and crap some bloatware on your carpet.

    Another amusing analogy I have for it is that I’m keeping it locked in the Matrix. It thinks it’s enjoying a big juicy steak but really it’s locked up in a virtual world so it can be used by me without ever being able to seeing or affecting the outside world.


  • Do it. Earlier this year I was exactly at the point you are now, coming from using Microsoft since MS DOS days. I’m glad I did the switch and haven’t looked back since. It was far easier than I thought it would be. If you know how to uninstall Microsoft bloat you can easily learn to use Linux.

    Unpopular opinion warning: After absolutely adoring Subnautica I was excited to try Outer Wilds as I was told it was similar. But for some reason despite my best efforts I just never got myself to care about it. It must be having to start over and over again and having a time limit to do anything that just annoys me too much. I get what they were going for and you can really tell it was made with a lot of love. But it was just not for me.
