I moved to Kubuntu recently. I’m overall happier, but I’ve had a number of pain points.

1. I bought DaVinci Resolve thinking they supported Linux. They do, just very poorly. Figuring out how to get that up and running was a faff. Davinci Resolve also doesn’t support AAC audio on MP4 files on Linux, so I had to write a script to transcode the audio of media to WAV. It also doesn’t play nice with window management. Overall, using resolve has been a huge pain.

2. I use Insta360s software just to stitch 360 video, getting that set up with bottles wasn’t the most straightforward but it works now.

3. I still haven’t figured out Fusion360, and I really don’t want to spend the time learning a new software. I learned it before I’d started making an effort to only use cross-platform tools.

4. I bought the Xbox Store version of Forza Horizon 5 so I could play it on my PC and Xbox. I no longer have the Xbox, and I’d have to re-buy it on Steam if I wanted to play it.

5. My Index just isn’t detected on Ubuntu. It was on Windows. I’ve tried a bunch of things, but it just doesn’t show up, so I haven’t been able to play VR. It might have a bad cable, but I’m not sure. Weird that it showed up before and doesn’t in Kubuntu.

Linux is all about finding alternatives. There is an alternate workflow, but you might have to deal with inconveniences or put in effort to learn something new. It’s been a lot of work. Also, I might need to dual boot windows to play VR stuff.
