    I’ve been with Windows forever, since version 3. I’m old.

    These past few months I’ve been trying Ubuntu, and it’s fine for everyday use, browsing and file management. And, LibreOffice has been my office suite for years, so no problem there–I don’t demand much from that.

    But, graphics applications are barely there. Blender is fine. Inkscape is so-so, but I just discovered recently that it doesn’t keep track of object rotation, so there is no simple way to set the rotation back to zero. Corel Draw gave up Linux support years ago, or that would be my go-to. I haven’t tried LibreDraw yet, but I don’t have much hope for it. Gimp is, eh.

    I haven’t tried playing FO4 or Starfield yet, though. I’ve just been switching back to Windows for that.

    I don’t mind using Terminal, it reminds me of MS-DOS days, but I don’t see myself ever become proficient at it.

    I won’t be getting Windows 11, I’ve decided that. But I see that I’ll likely need to give up a lot to make that stand.
