There are legitimate reasons not to use Linux, but the user interface is not one of them, Linux can be way friendlier UI-wise than windows, see Desktops like cinnamon.

Yeah, linux can be almost anything you want it to be. It'll run faster and look and feel just the same as windows, if not better. The only bad thing, and I say this as someone who's still on windows and will switch soon^tm^, is that there's a lot of work that comes with that.

A friend of mine who's all about linux is always fixing something about his installation. Though from what I know, he's using Arch, which apparently is less stable/needs more work to get going (something about bleeding edge).

Only reason why I haven't changed yet is because of VR and adobe programs. As soon as VR is a bit more seamless and I get replacements for adobe I'm off of windows.

if you want to be super cursed I've seen people replicate several of the windows UIs with desktop environment themes

For sure, not hard to do, and even part of the fun (ricing).

I think VR might actually be a reason to still use windows unless something changed in the last two years

Yeah, that's what I have heard, but I'm talking about UI superiority.

[–] wurstgulasch3000@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

I agree

The only issue I have with my Index is that linux somehow prioritizes it over my main monitor when booting so i have to plug it in after booting and then all works fine.

Index probably works fine but I don't know about non valve headsets

Guess what, people can have the Windows UI without doing anything beyond what they're already doing.

WiVRn from quest app store, wivrn desktop app. I also needed xrizer nightly for secondary gun mode to work in half life alyx. Can't guarantee much else though since I only really play beat saber.
