I don't know. There are things I can do with Voicemeeter and external controllers on Windows that I can't do on Linux with PipeWire. Similarly, there are things I can do with audio on my NixOS system I can't do on Windows. At least not as easily.
Many would probably benefit from doing the same. My code journey began back in 2003. The number of horrible manuals and code comments I've seen since then. Not without reason we have this unwritten rule about not wanting to touch other peoples code. 😅
I think most would RTFM if they weren't written by programmers who leave details out in fear of others taking their job if they learn to much.
I don't know where you reside and what sources you frequent, but EU already have an app, albeit a poorly made one, ready to go. So bills are being signed all over the world.
I'm one of those who are mentally prepared to exit the industry in a not to distant future. There are many reasons for it and I'd probably be cancelled without prejudice from all ends if I voiced half of them. It was a good run while it lasted though.

Seeing as you said in another comment that you like to tinker, take a look at NixOS. Extremely stable and to a point flexible. I say to a point as it's dependent on user knowledge. If you work with audio you can be very specific with sinks, latency, and memory settings in your config.
Whatever you did, it's noticable. Even with compatibility layers in between. We could probably use a bunch or words for it, but if I say that you can "feel" it, I know that you know what I mean.
I just finished the Stardream demo on my NixOS system. It ran at max settings without issues. Hats off to whoever made that happen! Be it @rebelpixel.fr, Steam's compatibility layer, or both. Wishlisted!

With people talking about old tech today, here's a DnB song by Calyx & TeeBee that released 14 years ago. An all-time favourite of mine.

It's surprisingly difficult to install and get working for being a Linux app. If I didn't know better I'd think it was a Windows app being installed via Wine or something similar.
I'd like to think the same as the config file in its simplest form is quite easy to parse and add to. The stability is another thing. Few distros comes close, I'd say.
Put on a blindfold and see where the dart lands!
Hi, chat!
Europeans don't seem to care about what's happening here. So asking them care about what's going on in the states is probably to big of an ask.

Hello, fellow gamedevs and PR wizards!
You know how it goes. I like to shine the spotlight on content creators you can send your playtest, demo, and release keys to. With that said, swing by @turblescelbor.bsky.social when you have game that fits their channel!

They say Wiretext started out as a joke that later turned out to be useful. They're not wrong. If you appreciate wireframe tools that focus on structure rather than visual eye candy, you'll like Wiretext.

I can't comment on printer interface as I'm not using it myself. I'll say this though. If you need a graphical user interface to set up your printer, you most likely want to use a distro that supports GNOME or KDE. With that in mind and your other needs, Debian might be a good option.
For better or worse, I use Linux issues to train my brain the same way old people use crosswords and Sudoku puzzles to train theirs.
For this to be enforceable there has to be a gov app with root access that phones home and regulates what a system allows on a user account level. Either that or everyone is supposed to have their own system. With todays prices on hardware, both options are as ridiculous.
I've always had the rule to not work on other peoples code. So I'm not likely to refactor any code regardless of who it's for.
What I find interesting is that he can easily hire ghost writers for multiple albums and still come out on top without the use of AI. It's not like it hasn't been done before.
Can't say I'm surprised. Even before AI he went for what would create a revenue stream. Still remember when people gave him shit back in the day for selling his soul to commercialism.
What do you use your desktop for?
Codeberg has seen quite the rise as of late. Not that I think GitHub will go anywhere anytime soon. But they will lose a big chunk of their market share.
DaVinci is a good option if you can get it working on your chosen distro. Linux native Kdenlive has become quite competent too.
I was an early adopter of Sublime Text when I was on Windows. So it'd be easy for me to go that route now that I'm on Linux. Other than that I like Zed. While I have Vim in my config, it's hidden behind a comment and not in use.
Bazzite might be easier to deal with than CachyOS, but CachyOS has a bigger community and support network, which makes it easier to find solutions for any issues you might have. Like @vladimirledeux.bsky.social said, look at Linux as something modular rather than something simple or difficult.
I'd say that most Linux distros are easier to install with a graphical installer than it is to install Windows. Setup beyond that varies. Like in my case. I use NixOS which is more config and terminal dependent than something like Bazzite.
If people are to be believed, yes, Arch. Parts of the community are currently quite upset with the success of CachyOS, which is based on Arch. If I had to guess it's about being a purist or something like that. All drama aside, both distros are good.
