I've got plenty of old software here under Linux that still runs fine to this day across a number of PC's and even a Raspberry Pi that I use as a backup desktop. I honestly can't see backwards compatibility being any more of an issue than it is under Windows - There's a number of accounting packages released under Windows 7 that won't run under Windows 10, the latest version of most popular browsers won't run under Windows 7. Likewise, the latest version of MS Office 365 won't run under Windows 8.

My overview transition is seamless running X11.

RTX has worked under Linux both natively and via and Wine/Proton/DXVK/VKD3D for quite some time now.

I don't believe Nvidia were the one's being lazy in this regard, they submitted the merge request for explicit sync quite some time ago now. Wayland devs essentially took their sweet time merging the code.

Now all they need is a complete nvidia-settings application under Wayland that allows for coolbits to be set, and I may be able to use Wayland. For some reason, my RTX 2070S boosts far higher than the already overclocked from factory boost clocks, resulting in random crashing - I have to use GWE to limit boost clocks to OEM specs to prevent crashing.

Strangely enough, this was never a problem under Windows.

Exactly? The interface is god awful, if you’re running a dark theme then your icons will be unseeable (black on black) unless you enable experimental features. The interface is straight out of the early 2000s.

Erm. I don't have any experimental features enabled, and my icons aren't black on black as far as I can see.

I've been using only Libre Office for about the last six years for the daily running of my business and I have no problems. Furthermore, I despise the ribbon interface, give me an interface from the 2000's any day.

lol

They're custom icons for Libre Office Write and Libre Office Calc. No MS Office here! Google Messages works perfectly as an official web app.

Fresh install, KDE Neon 6.0.0 user edition:

I find the opposite running KDE Neon. In fact File Explorer 'lag' is a widely expressed issue regarding Windows 11.

Find a new job before those new owners take over the business.

The possibility does exist. I think the Adobe CC hasn't been released under Linux for a similar reason, as Microsoft and Apple know that should Linux get the Adobe CC, people will flock to Linux.

A number of years back Adobe accidentally released a slide showing the Adobe CC running under Ubuntu, but strangely the product was never released on the platform.

Which is also the case under Windows. As stated, no OS is immune to driver issues.
