   bro, if you install opentoonz, good luck ever finding it again. It just gets dropped into a black hole

     typing anything into the widows search bar, you might as well scrawl it onto the side of a gas station gloryhole

     @Wormwood Thats why Ive recommended Windows users replace closed source, cloud and paid apps with open source on Windows first

     Once you get used of the programs
     then you have no reason to stick with Windows as the OS

     What programs you having issues with btw ?

     You given a go

     Shotcut video editor
     LibreWolf
     Unjewogled Chomium
     
     Along with
     SearX instead of jewogle search

     and
     Jitsi Meet instead of Zoom/Skype

     @charliebrownau That's it 100%. I've tried to make the switch, it's just so hard to run the programs I'm used to

     For printing I would recommend setting up a small little dedicated print server, this way its shared on the LAN

     If its got a vendor provided Debian/Deb driver
     then it should work in Linux

     I dont have the printer

     Here is a way YOU can test it

     Grab the debian driver, copy to USB stick #2
     make USB stick #1 bootable with
     Debian 11 non free live ISO

     Boot PC with printer connected with USB stick 1
     Once in OS in LIVE mode
     install deb file via cli
     do testprint

     @Wormwood @charliebrownau I know that some printer brands suck at Linux support. I don't know about Canon.
     
     Does this official driver work?

     @charliebrownau Also my printer would rather put a bullet in it's head than work with Linux. I've tried looking into it a million different ways. The best solution seems to be to write my own driver from scratch

     @Wormwood @charliebrownau I would suggest to new Linux users that they try Linux Mint as their first Linux because the interface is deliberately similar in look and feel to Windows except it has a search system that actually works and it doesn't have any ads popping up in the "Windows" menu.
     
     Gimp and Krita can replace Photoshop for 99% of work you might do with them. As a Game Developer I use Krita for pretty everything visual art related. Also Photoshop runs okay in Wine from what I've heard.
     
     Steam nowadays has Wine support built in to it. You just go into the settings of whatever game your playing and tell it to use Proton. It works for 95%-98% of games on Steam out of the box with little to no configuration.

     Most distros offer the same choice of UI's

     XFCE
     MATE
     Cinamon
     KDE
     etc

     Mint just has a themed Cinamon desktop

     @fishsticks @Wormwood

     Thing I see is so many companies are willing to spend

     100-500 per machine every 12 months

     Instead of spending 1000-5000 dollars ONCE on improving open source

     Im going to be doing a video soon

     If I could snap my fingers and become the dictator, what would I do

     @charliebrownau @Wormwood Honestly nothing can really replace adobe tools in a professional setting especially if you're used to them at this point. Genuinely the only reason why I'm forced to use windows at all unfortunately. The best option for semi-normalfag general use is to run Linux with a bare metal vm running windows for adobe garbage exclusively. If it's for crime or racism a computer for work that isn't connected to the internet in any way running windows and a computer for poasting running some secure version of Linux like whonix is the best option imo if you're going for professional work. If I ever become dictator I'm forcing adobe to open source everything before the real violence starts btw
