I just played a game on Steam earlier tonight with friends; it launched WINE under the hood so invisibly that I couldn’t believe I wasn’t playing it on Windows. Nearly everything is cross-compatible these years with WINE, Bottles, Proton, Lutron, etc. There is basically no fear. If anything, the software typically performs even better.
Blender is fantastic software and a good place to start learning non-parametric modeling, but if you’re already used to 3DSMax it’s a massive learning curve because of how different the interface is. Like you have to unlearn stuff.
It’s worth the effort IMO but not everyone has the discipline to do it.
This is literally what Linux is always like and it never slows down even after decades. It boots and shuts down in about 3 seconds each. Join us; I spent a lot of time typing a foolproof guide recently. Let me see it actually get used lol!

I did not use your guide as I do not need it, but if I did need it, it would be exactly the kind of thing I would be looking for.
No adobe so no photoshop, no 3dStudio, no MSVC.
So I have one “windows box” for that.
The added bonus is it’s such a fresh experience to go back to linux every time 😁.
There are worthy alternatives to photoshop and 3dstudio max. Even if you /really/ need it, they can be run in wine or a vm.
Well not really, I’m “relearning” Krita but there is still some stuff lacking, making it a drudgery to use (fine software though!).
And there is no real replacement for 3dstudio and it won’t run in wine/vm.
I’m sure I’m probably wrong, but what about Blender?
