From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For me, it's hardware support, i.e my laptops fingerprint sensor just isn't supported, for the speakers to work I had to find a script that remapped the speakers, multiple desktops (especially with different resolutions) are a pain.

But the killer at the moment is a good solution to manage and post process my raw photos. Went from Lightroom to On1 Photo RAW...unfortunately DarkTable is still not there yet. Also still missing the affinity suite on Linux :-(

Also, sadly these tools also don't run well in a VM
