  • Like Vegas? Sure. Open source stuff like kdenlive and shotcut exists. Davinci resolve is available for Linux for more professional stuff. Specifically Vegas? Probably only under a VM, and you’d likely get awful performance, so not worth it. If you’re a professional, Linux isn’t always an option, especially if you are in a software ecosystem that doesn’t work there







  • That reminds me of the oldschool Realtek WiFi cards which required you to run drivers through WINE just to have WiFi on Linux. It really is excellent to see how far it’s come. I have a cheap Chinese laptop with a celeron chip (jasper lake) that I use as essentially a thin client. Installing windows fresh: trackpad doesn’t work, audio doesn’t work, WiFi 6 card driver is a generic MS one that caps at 5mb a sec until I install the right Realtek drivers, graphics aren’t accelerated until I install intel’s drivers. Installing Linux: everything works out of the box, just need to install the right graphics drivers for accelerated graphics to work. Only sad spot is the fingerprint reader is just flat out not supported in Linux. Lol if I tried hard I guess I could hook up WINE to run it like the old days

    The thing is, it’s not a good general purpose OS. The filesystem is write protected, and you can disable that, but anything you do will be cleared on the next update. It uses proprietary repos that are behind Arch’s, so AUR software is often incompatible. Everything is based on the one steam deck user, so you can’t really do a multi user set up. It makes sense for a handheld gaming console (or maybe if you had a PC that you used purely as a gaming console connected to a TV), but it definitely doesn’t make sense to have as your OS on your gaming PC if you do anything except gaming
