I am a professional Unity developer. It's been 2 years since I completely switched to Linux. Everything works very well. Now I use Fedora KDE and recommend it to everyone!
What's it like being immersed in unity professionally? I've been using it on and off for the last 10 years and can only imagine some of the tips you have from working with it professionally!
Yeah, been using Ubuntu Linux for a few years now, both for programming and gaming. There are a few little annoyances that pop up from time to time, but a few years in, you learn how to deal with them, and then it's a breeze. Don't miss windows at all.
I've been really happy with it. My laptop has been Linux for 6 years and the recall nonsense was the final straw. I'm shocked at how far gaming has come on it. Also, if you run android, check out scrcpy for mirroring your phone to the desktop!
@TJTheProgrammer same, I've been really happy with it. Linux (for the most part) seems to have a bit more user-centric intuitiveness than Windows in some aspects. As I said, don't miss windows at all, and being able to effortlessly game and code on Linux is just the icing on the cake. And yes, I run Android and am currently developing for Android, so I'll check scrcpy out, for sure. Thanks for the tip! Right now I'm using Android Studio for mirroring
Speaking of user-centric intuitiveness, I found a fun shortcut when resizing windows on Ubuntu. Hold shift and it will snap to the windows around it, rather than the corners of the screen!
@@TJTheProgrammer Nice little tip! Very cool, just tried it out. I'm glad to see that Linux seems to have more and more people looking to use it, because it's really a great system. If windows and Mac OS weren't so ubiquitous on the average computer that one buys, I'm sure Linux would be much more popular than it is now. It also might potentially make it more vulnerable, but that will also serve to make it more robust to then deal with it, since there's a legion of developers that work on it who would strengthen whatever weaknesses in security it may have.
I don't need Windows for anything except my tax reporting software (because it works only on Mac or Windows). And I run Windows as a VM in Proxmox. I use RDP to access Windows and XFreeRDP client for it. It supports auto-mounting of Linux user home folder to the Windows as a net drive.
It really seems that all of the business software, if it's not a web app, is a better experience or only on Windows. I'll have to take another look at Proxmox!
