My experience with linux is that its super good for the basic stuff but as soon as you want to do something more complex that you do on windows you can run into weird issues where you end up spending hours looking through config files. Just keep using them on servers imo until Google or someone else decides to make something that works well.

I use it as my daily driver for everything. I've been designing my house for the past two years. I just don't recognize this picture you paint.

Have I spent a few hours fiddling with config files to get some esoteric bit of hardware working? Yes. Have I spent a few hours fiddling with drivers and the registry to get some esoteric bit of hardware working in Windows? Again yes. Once, when I set the system up.

IME Linux, once set up stays set up. It's Windows that randomly breaks, chokes itself on it own bloat and commits suicide by update.

Fr. Almost every time linux has broken on me, it was entirely my fault. Only thing I can think of that wasn't my fault was a bad grub update but that took less than 5 minutes to fix. Meanwhile I've had windows just spontaneously break for absolutely no reason

Ah well, we won't talk about the times I broke Linux by poking bits I didn't understand properly....

I'm using Blender. It's saved me, I don't know how many, thousands of pounds going round the design consultation loop with an architect because by the time we handed them the brief we had already honed it down to what we wanted and they just made some regulatory adjustments before going straight on to planning.
