...you do realize that i can make the exact same statement with a search
and replace for linux vs windows, do you?
just sayin'...
but joking aside: for me switching to linux brought a lot more
advantages than staying with good old windows.
first i don't miss any tools. i have softimage, mudbox, maya, photoshop,
inkscape and all our inhouse editors. they all work fine. secondly, the
killerfeature of linux is its window managers. in my case mate desktop.
its slick, fast and powerful. i can have as many virtual desktops as i
want, keep several apps open in parallel (and not stacked up behind each
other), each screen is customized to my needs. sessions get saved, i can
switch and shuffle them around with a few keystrokes and i almost never
reboot - updates happen in the background...i have two monitors chained
to one desktop and another monitor on a second x session that kind of
acts like a second computer with a shared mouse, keyboard and
copy/paste-buffer for email etc.. it's the real life equivalent of those
funky hollywood-operating systems that we've all seen so many times
before and it's boosting my day2day performance a LOT.
oh, and i can switch between wacom intous and bamboo without
deinstalling and installing drivers. try that with windows :)
cheers!

yea so far I also saw only problems with linux after trying to switch
couple times....
fro missing so many other tools to making every day tasks a nightmare.
sorry but if you don't have an Linux guru around then you will spend more
time trying to do something on system instead of actually working on your
job.

And why is that? What does make SI Linux better than Windows version? From
an artist point of view I see more cons than pros in switching from Windows
to Linux, apart from dealing with Linux based networks and farms.

Totally agree with Miquel. I'd switch to linux tomorrow if the
installation process was easier.
