Oh no, I use Mint, I'm a very basic user. Setting up linux shouldn't be a contest, lol

If my job didn't require me to test frequently on Windows, I'd swap. Now that Rider and other alternatives that I enjoy are available on Linux, it's super viable.

Most development environments and engines have Linux ports of some description, Lumen even works in UE these days. Main OS is Windows still, switching my entire environment and build chain to Linux is a 10 minute job at most. I at least test on it in 2025 Consider also open SteamOS/Bazzite.

My Wine version is a little too unstable to rely on.

I’ve tried to learn GIMP but oh man it’s so rough in comparison to the top of the line tools. I should probably just force myself to get used to it. I wish there was a Blender level open source equivalent for graphics

Same

I managed to get the Affinity software working on Linux Mint using Wine but it’s a tad buggy for sure.

Yeah, I had been dual booting up until Windows 8, but after they started forcing updates in the middle of my work I switched to Linux entirely and haven't looked back. 10+ years now.
