Linux Is The Future

Those who know me have noticed me talking about Linux a lot and that’s because I really want to switch, but game-dev work has been stopping me a bit. Mostly because efficiency is key in my line of work and I don’t want to fight with compatibility issues with Unreal Engine, Perforce, and problem solving due to OS stuff.

Next step for me would be to jump to Linux using my laptop at some point, so the question then stands as to what distro to use? (distro is short for distribution and its a different flavor of Linux)

There is a new thing out there called Universal Blue project that has a new way to manage, package and deliver a customized OS (Linux). Comparatively before you picked distros, desktop environment and then had to manually download things and keep everything up to date etc. Here you just pick what purpose you want with your system and then you're set. (tweaking is available if you want ofc) Also Linux now is not what it once was. Most things just work and hardware is generally no issue and
