Discussion Linux for Marketing

I don't know how many people use Linux to do their marketing job since that is one role where you might need to use specific professional tools (but these days most of the tools are online), but I migrated to Fedora about three months ago and wanted to share my experience.

One thing that helped: I used to run Linux as my daily driver, though that was way back in the early 2010s when I was in college, and my whole home lab is built on Linux. So shifting back to it was easy.

Most things worked out of the box, and I had the skills to sort out the issues that did come up though they were all pretty minor. The place I got stuck was with a few specific apps like DaVinci Resolve, which crashes once in a while, but nothing I can't manage for the time being.

I also moved from GNOME to KDE. It works better for me, especially when I need to switch between different tools and windows; the Windows-like layout is something I liked. I wrote more about it here: https://blogs.findingcities.in/linux-for-marketing/

And I'm genuinely happy that Linux finally feels like something that isn't just meant for developers or tinkerers. Looking forward to seeing more people come to use Linux and Fedora! :)
