I've ran Linux on my laptop for well over a year, and have showed Linux on Gaming PCs too many times to count... but what about installing Linux on my workstation? I spent the last 30 days with ZorinOS 17, and did 100% of my Video Editing, 3D Modeling, Live Streaming and day to day business operations from it. How did it go? What challenges did I face, and would I recommend it for you?
But first... What am I drinking???
