More likely to catch some disease from the pigeon / sheep / other creature shit that blanketed the ground below the structure. It was about a metre and a bit up high!

Sorry second sentence was to do with being discovered if you had wandered onto private property ^_^; Though the various excrement doesn't sound terribly appealing either.

I understood the meaning, but perhaps wasn't very articulate in my reply. I am knee deep right now into setting up a linux environment for my daily use. I've had enough of windows if I'm not gaming (for titles that don't work using proton) or photoshopping :D

I'm getting the same with MacOS (Windows has been an absolute non-option no matter what for decades, given the choice between being "forced" to use Windows because the thing can't or won't support/be on anything else I will drop the thing). Eventually going to replace my iPhone with a Pinephone Pro and my Macbook Air with a Framework 13.

Can't really say much about gaming (way too many of them are massive security flaws), the image editing stuff on linux doesn't do it for you?

At least I can now say that I can competently use all three major operating systems day to day. I've been using Linux on my home server(s) for quite some time now, but never as a desktop platform.

The Steam deck has opened my eyes to Linux gaming and made it incredibly viable. While that's based on Arch, I opted to use Linux Mint for my day to day.

I still will require a Windows install for Photoshop and Light Room... as I have 2 years pre-paid for my photoshop licence and I'm not keen to relinquish the workflows I have for my photography at this stage. Captive audience. I'll of course explore other options on linux in time, but I would also like to see what my iPad as a stand alone device can do for image editing.

I had a play with ProCreate on the ipad the other day, and it made me love drawing again. If there's an image editing app on ipad that can handle large raw files, layers, and does automatic masking as good as light room - that isn't light room :P I'll have very little need to boot into Windows again.

So yeah, I'm at a cross roads. A stupidly powerful gaming PC, a m2 macbook air, and an ipad pro. I've also got an android phone, so I'm a mixture of all operating systems and devices at the moment.

Not the worst flex XD

How have you gone on Ubuntu-based distros? All mine kept blowing up every time I did a dist-upgrade :S

Steam goes pretty good on linux, my daughter was using Fedora on her desktop for a while and everything was fine til she decided she wanted to play Roblox with her friends again and now she's got windows because Roblox's "anti-cheat" system is a massive security flaw.

Can totally understand not wanting to relinquish workflows, it's pretty inconvenient and why I have been so incredibly slow to switch all the way over (one of my favourite things about the Apple system is the interoperability, KDE is getting there, I'll find out how far along it is when I've replaced the two smaller devices x_x)
