From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Visual Studio. But VSCodium mostly makes up for it.

I miss all the crashes, the blue screen of death, the automatic updates that reconfigure all the personal changes you made to try make Windows work better, and all the hunting around for cracked propietary software.
Ive been mostly on linux for like 25 years, but i was using a chromebook for a while bc it was cheap (had a linux desktop tho).
I miss easily running android apps on my laptop. I could install waydroid but its not that big of a deal to me. Just the only thing i could think of that i miss from another os...
The 20fps drop I have when I play THE game I have that could use it... For like 3 weeks, every 3-4 months...
Not a big deal really.
Windows has spell checking and autocomplete that works in pretty much any app and I think it works really well. I often find that I can type sentences a lot faster in Windows.
Their grammar checking though, insufferable when you use complex sentence structure.
When I was using Windows, I used Adobe Lightroom with the Negative Lab Pro plugin to digitize my film negatives. I've played around with Darktable, and it does the job, but it's a lot more fiddly, and it discourages me from processing film.
I'm 100% sure that Raspberry Pi has that. I can set how much of ram will go for the gpu. But raspberry pi's gpu isn't really a gpu.

Foobar2000. Haven't found anything similar in terms of ui customization options, easy convert and ReplayGain operations built in.
afaik foobar2000 works flawless via wine. it is even in the AUR (if you are an Arch user): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/foobar2000

OneNote.
That's really all. OneNote, on a windows tablet or foldable device with a proper stylus is the bee's knees for knowledge management.
You probably already know but just in case, xournal++ is a good alternative I've been using. Not quite as feature rich but does all the basics. Linux on a windows tablet is a surprisingly usable experience, if a little janky.
