So if I wanted two users for instance, then I’d have to download an extra copy of each piece of software (one per user) to be able to access (if I wanted tk store them on the drive and not on the network?)

I’m sure they will! I appreciate it!
Thanks for the detailed response! This sounds promising.
Interesting. Thank you!
I’ll add it to the list! Thank you!
Do you know of good emulation setups in Linux? I’ve run a bunch of emulators (NES, SNES, N64, GBA, and some GameCube and Playstation although not as prevalent), and am interested in getting something to emulate the Switch after I upgrade the hardware.
I’ll be stuck with Windows on my work laptop, that’s not something that I will be able to change anyway. I can point out as things come up, but with industry accepted software (like SolidWorks for example) that we use daily I can’t see us switching to any alternative.
Do others auto-update or are users prompted as updates become available?
Would the programs I install while using one desktop environment not be accessible from the other desktop environment? Akin to installing software in a Windows computer and each user logging into that computer can access that software?
Noted: avoid xorg.conf!
Okay that’s good to know. That will come later as I get more comfortable in the environment.
That’s why I’m wanting to make the switch now! I’m really disliking how constrained I’ve felt with what applications and especially subscription based services.
Okay so maybe ease myself in with dual boot, then Linux + virtual Windows, then Linux only. That seems like a good transition.
I’ve added it to the list for review! Thank you!
Typically I have a browser (Firefox), Blender for some 3D modeling, uTorrent, previously Plex (but wanting to move away from it to something like Jellyfin maybe), Microsoft Offjce products but mostly Word/Excel/PowerPoint, and I have Outlook on my work laptop but am used to using browser for email client as needed so thats not a huge priority if there isnt a good mail application. There are probably others but those are the most often or daily usage!
Ah okay that makes sense. I wasn’t familiar with the term, but I’ve heard of bootloaders.
Oh that’s interesting. So each time I login I could potentially load into a different styling as I choose?
Does a desktop environment really draw that much more resource than another?
Okay I see. Thanks for the clarification!
