Since windows 10 is ending support soon, I'd like to give some advice for artists that are thinking of switching to linux.
Don't.
It sucks to say, but linux is not ready for artists yet. Specially if you're a Clip Studio user or have niche hardware.
@Okymir ending support if what?
@illegalrx Microsoft is ending support for windows 10 on November this year.
It means they wont' roll out bug fixes or security stuff.

@Okymir @illegalrx if you're going to upgrade to windows 11, i'd heavily recommend a few things.
first, chris titus tech's winutil. it'll let you customize your operating system a lot and do things like disabling updates, telemetry, and tons of other stuff.

second, explorerpatcher. this will give you back all of the old windows 10 stuff including the taskbar, start menu, and the right click menus.

third, toggle rounded corners. only the setup .exe worked for me, but getting rid of those rounded window corners in favor of the old sharp ones is so much better.

there are a lot of other tweaks you can do. if there is something you don't like about windows 11, there is almost a guarantee you can change it somehow with tools people have made. it is not unlike using linux in that regard, imo. personally, i mainly still use windows because it has an amazing colorblind filter and i've had issues with linux randomly corrupting itself when it updates or not working with some of my devices, even simple ones like my mouse.
@beardalaxy @Okymir @illegalrx Also, its fairly easy to get a local account with a new windows 11 install, like it shows in this vid. Also, there is a program called "shut up windows 10" that lets you debloat and get rid annoying notifications and what not.
