    I want to move to Linux, I tried a few months ago with a few distros but ran into two issues. One, I’m a content creator so easy access and use of my digital tools is paramount.

    Secondly I make extensive use of VR and the support for VR graphics drivers was not good. I heard many duct tape and bubble gum solutions to run virtual desktops but I can’t mess around with my operating system every day when I need my machine to run and do what I need it to do without lots of little roadblocks.

    I want to move to Linux but I do not think it’s where it needs to be yet to take me off of Windows :(

      Advocate for more Linux support with VR vendors. Remember that most of the time, what halts Linux development is not technical impossibility, but lack of political will. Companies refusing to spend money on development of compatibility for their hardware or intentionally blocking open source efforts is what halts the ecosystem. It’s the same exact computer, if it works on Windows but not on Linux is because someone in a suit angrily said “no”.
