You can always run windows on a VM within linux. You can passthrough any required hardware. And windows actually runs better in a VM than on baremetal.
Whoa thanks for making me aware of this project, this looks great. I was running Linux on my laptop before, but had to go back to windows because of running into issues with figma. Excited to gtfo windows permanently.
@Fredselfish@Morph9 for me at the momment the only app missing on linux is fusion360, found replacement for any orher and I dont see me going back to wibdows now… my newest setup dont even have dualboot
Well unfortunately they don’t have ones I need. 1 TuneFab an app that allows me to convert my Audible files into mp3s. Second Tune Amazon that allows me to convert my Amazon music files into mp3s. And lastly need a good dvd/bluray ripper software. Also what VPN software does Linux support?
Linux supports any VPN protocol pretty much. If your VPN vendor doesn’t want you to lock in their software - they probably allow you to download pure OpenVPN or WireGuard config file that can be easily inserted on any major distro.
And also as far as I knke, Proton VPN and Mulvad has their GUI clients for linux

They do but don’t use Proton. They’re very lazy about their VPN implementations and the official clients are very leaky in general. Plus they neglect all their linux apps.
Proton feels like they really want to be Google, but don’t have enough market share yet to enter the “removing ‘Don’t Be Evil’ from the mission statement” stage.
I can’t speak to bluray/DVD ripping, but I don’t expect that to be an issue. What format are “audible files” and “Amazon music files”? I don’t think I’ve met a format ffmpeg couldn’t convert, but maybe not in a way you’d like or would feel as convenient.
Still using it because many apps I paid damn good money for a use daily have no Linux support and Linux as zero similar apps.

Or even easier would be something like https://winboat.app/

…what’s figma.
Fig ma newtons, lmao gottem
It’s a design software - mockups, prototyping etc… for sites and products
Isn’t figma mainly browser-based?
Yeah it can be used in browser, however you can’t use custom typefaces (last I checked) – plus the native app experience is smoother I found.

It’s probably DRM related. I believe https://getlibation.com/ should do the same thing.
Yeah ffmpeg should do the trick. I don’t use Audible so no idea for sure, but ffmpeg is awesome.
All VPN work on Linux because the protocols are open and standardized.
I’ve used NordVPN and SurfShark on Linux distros. Audacity for music conversion, and MakeMKV for ripping DVD/Blu-ray.
Is this a feasible alternative? https://getlibation.com/
As for tunefab for amazon music, why not just use soulseek instead?
Which version should I use for Linux Debian? and I will have to look into Soulseek.
You’ll want the amd64.deb file for debian unless your computer has an arm cpu in which case it would be the arm64.deb. Nicotine+ is a good soulseek client (https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.nicotine_plus.Nicotine)
Okay thank you.
Yes thank you definitely what I am looking for.
