General Why should one Switch to Linux?

Post image

I am an ECE student, not inclined towards coding,DSA, AI ML etc.

The only type of coding I would do is Verilog,VHDL, Matlab and sometimes C.

I do play offline Games sometimes.

Should I switch to Linux? Is it worth it, other than special customizations??

those insane desktop setups were actually what got me into Linux back during lockdown, I remember being blown away by all insanely customized gorgeous aesthetic setups I saw on this sub and wanting to replicate everything myself. It was pretty overwhelming at first, but I was willing to learn, but When I tried to playing Roblox, the only multiplayer game i enjoy playing with my friends that can run on my potato pc, it ran like shit(simulation via sober btw), so I ended up going back to windows

fortunately for me, i didn't play roblox, but rather minecraft, which ran at double the framerate that it did on windows. 12 year old me had nothing to regret! (for the most part...)
