For me its honestly a ton of my work software (digital forensics), shit is too niche to be replaced by good FOSS options. Cellebrite, Magnet Axiom, etc. Autopsy is great and free and has a linux version but it simply cannot get the same level of data without a pretty nutty level of custom code.

And the biggest side effect of this is FUCKING WINDOWS. God I would replace this nightmare OS in a heartbeat if the aforementioned work software would make linux compatible versions. We have legitimately wasted 10k hours dealing with windows bullshit that would not be a problem in linux. Though im sure linux would take a different 10k for its own problems.

What about you guys? Doesn’t have to be work related, thats just the thorn in my side right now.

    AMD gpus has better support but many have had decent experience with nVidia cards too. Cpu it doesn’t matter afaik.

      Nvidia will probably get better in the future (2024+) due to some great work being done on the open source driver. So as you say, I would also recommend AMD unless you rly need Nvidia for something specific like developing for RTX or something. I have recently gotten my Nvidia 2070 eGPU to work after many hours of debugging, while all my AMD cards work out of the box.
