I noticed a lot of pro tools e.g. ones used by Hollywood etc. does support Linux. Actually people say Linux is the platform of choice for a lot of companies. They just certify hardware configurations and a distribution like RHEL or SLES. Problem solved. I noticed a lot of them started to support Ubuntu LTS too.
Before Steve Jobs, Hancock saved Apple so they could survive until he came to rescue them.
She was the one who decided the Apple's OS rescue operation (Copland etc) is a mess which can't be salvaged and stopped them from using their last resources for it.

Ms Windows division needs someone to tell the truth.
I love that guy however as a Microsoft employee he insists not seeing the elephant in the room. It is closed source model Vs open source/community. KDE project for example is gigantic and old. They don't have to cope with this problem.
Also, using their model Apple does have an excellent, native like Turkish translation while Windows one reads like a bad sci fi movie script.
I remember reading my mainboard or CPU (Pentium era) manual, and it was suggesting to launch Edit and open its "File" menu. If left open, it will use 100% CPU and one will figure if CPU overheats or not. This always bugged me. How would MS allow such a risky bug in DOS era? Or, did the Intel engineers notice the bug and use it for their own advantage?
I would never imagine this kind of thing but they are showing phishing "ads" for some of major financial payment platforms and banks. For the good of people,I keep reporting them as "illegal products & services" and nothing happens. I even reported them to the company being targeted.
It is a jungle, even AI generated famous people are used.
I have Macbook 5.1 from 2009, running openSUSE Tumbleweed. Actually, I have run a small restaurant's social media with it. It is a core duo 64bit. Unfortunately, there is a power supply problem which is a bit expensive overengineered thing. I will soon reboot it with 4000 updates once I replace the power supply.
I have never used Broadcom website except getting Linux drivers but thanks to VMware desktop becoming free, I dealt with it.
Once I used my native Turkish name while registering, it took two days with a very helpful (no sarcasm) support staff to grant my free download.
I figured one thing. That is a mainframe/large enterprise company who has no clue about end users or small businesses.
It is like a friend who worked in IBM Turk in Aptiva age. He was holding a freaking bank to help some teenager install his game.
I keep reading comments from developers saying they were really interested but the absurd price of SDK and compiler prevented them. It isn't like a developer will pirate IBM software.
I used OS/2 V3 with IBM global network. Funny that looking back, I really didn't need Windows but the horrible negative press must have effected me.
I have 7th gen i5 as well, I suggest you should stay on Win 10 as long as possible. Windows 11 24H2 has type1 hypervisor trickeries and the 7th gen i5 lacks a specific instruction to hardware accelerate it. You end up with horrible fan noise, at least 30% performance penalty etc. 8th gen doesn't have this issue, I am not sure about other issues that may arise.
I suggest that you use Mint (for conservative but modern Linux) or openSUSE Tumbleweed.
I have lived hell with fan noise/performance for 10 days and finally "downgraded" to Windows 10. My CPU (intel i5 7xxx) doesn't have specific instructions to do easy virtual machine based security and the geniuses at MS somehow managed to enable it, again. This time no tips/help worked and because I won't watch DRM videos with fan noise, I downgraded it. I previously managed to disable it using very advanced trickery but this time, nothing worked. My use for Windows is just movies/tv series and nothing else.
Disabling "memory integrity" isn't enough for Win 11 24H2.
Speaking of kernel, to run Adobe suite licensed (subscribed) etc you will need kernel level running DRM which will never happen on Linux. Perhaps, if Adobe people magically notices how much Windows waste their suite with horrible overhead, they may ship something for RHEL/SUSE first.
It did have printer drivers and a working printing system but for example my HP 690C which was a massively popular inkjet wasn't supported. In Warp 3. Perhaps HP shipped a driver later.
The problem is said to be they didn't work with vendors. MS on the other hand even physically sends people to help some vendors.
Not a developer but I was reading 80286 history. The problem seems to be 286 can't get out of protected mode once it is switched to it, e.g. you run a modern GUI OS but you also have critical MS-DOS software. On Unix there isn't such archaic issues of course.
It is more than decades ago around 2005, a die hard OSX developer had to ship a Windows exe for a reason. I can't remember the name or product.
He had the exe crashing all the time and somehow MS got aware of it.
Microsoft contacted him telling why likely it fails and how to fix it sending the necessary documentation.
The guy was so impressed that he blogged about it on a OSX developer blog.
I say buy a device which Lineage guys support, if it is possible, also check for Linux compatibility.
The vendor should also promise at least 3 Android major updates with security updates for 5 years. HMD is tricking people that they are just ex Nokia, there is also a giant Chinese in the room.
Check dontkillmyapp.com it has Nokia section and also explains who put that lame software in the Nokia. I am using Nokia 5.1 plus and it runs
setting.duraspeed.enabled 2
every freaking boot or it will randomly kill things. This device also carries "Google one" certification. How did Google allow this?
Just imagine a "viral" mass switch happens and 40% of users moved to Linux desktop.
It would take Adobe one month to polish their secret version of suite to release on a LTS Linux. Once you are getting out of space you inspect their monster sized folders more. They opt in to multiple platform frameworks and libraries more than ever.
Didn't you notice how fast they shipped for ARM?
While trying to get into BIOS boot menu under current VMware Workstation, I lost the focus and invoked "help website" as in F1/Help key.
Remember this used to be and still is a very expensive end user/commercial software. I have 8 "404 not found" tabs here. Yes, they managed to delete the freaking help page.
You can figure the issue from their side using 1994 "analytics" technology. You know, thousands of 404 errors on the same page logged.
