Hey, I use the Adobe Suite for daily use to build and develop posts and videos for multiple people and can’t have my workflow slow down by learning a new application, I’ve looked into Linux a few times and want to really move over in the future but due to it not having support for Adobe, I’m not sure what to do.
One of the other applications I use is Sync (sync.com), It’s an application to sync your files from a folder to the cloud allowing me to switch from my to laptop (what I can’t run most things on) and then I can still access the files on the go if I need to send them to someone.
I also play plenty of games on Steam but not all of them have native Linux Instances. I believe Proton is actually helping bring non-native games to Linux which is a plus as really wouldn’t want to lose access to playing them.
Any advice on how I can get using Linux without losing these sorts of functions or do I have to wait till Windows annoys enough people making them all move to Linux first?
As others have stated, Dual boot but with two HDs one OS per Hard Disk. Otherwise Windows will write over the Linux grub (the equivalent yi windows MBR) one day (been there, several times 😭) and then it’s a right pain to get it back to normal. For the sync option, there are several options, Dropbox is available as an app on Linux, Also NextCloud works extremely well
@Minty95 Thank you, yeah I think I will probably invest in External Hard Drives as I have a lot of data to store with over 5TB worth currently on my Sync Cloud Storage and that’s ever-growing. I looked into a 10TB External HDD and it seems they are around £200 which isn’t cheap by any means but is cheaper than paying £300 a year (If I only use up 15TB per year).
Maybe a second hand NAS? They can be found dirt cheap, and often you can upgrade the HDs easily, or if your running a desktop PC with room, just add internal HDs as these are cheaper
