I want to move to Linux but I need to be able to access my apps that are not supported ( kbin.social )

The biggest issue with switching is your "must have" applications.

A lot of people spend time trying to make them work, it often doesn't work well and so they go back.

Take Sync, Linux has similar solutions (insync is a popular one), but there alternative solutions. Perhaps the server could run syncthing or your tooling supports ftp, etc..

The key thing is not to ask for the equivalent of X, but think what you actually use X for.

So if you use Sync to share video on Slack, you don't need a Sync replacement you need a way to share video on slack.

Alas I think Photoshop is the one killer application

@stevecrox Yeah I will have to see what I can find without moving to Linux and see what I can find. Sync sadly isn't a bypass for me it's more of a destination for my files to store (Instead of using Google Drive or any other system). The Adobe suite I've kind of got to keep on using especially with how much work I would loose if I did move across, So I'll have to re-evaluate what I can do from what someone mentioned, I need to learn how to GPU Passthrough for the VM if I where to go that root.

You miss the point about Sync.

You don't need sync, you need a cloud storage solution that works with linux.

Its being willing to step back in that way which will help you transition.

@stevecrox Yeah I basically do need that, There's a lot of usage with Sync that I enjoy such as its auto-saving to the cloud. I think because of the amount of storage I do take up I will be looking into External 10TB Hard Drives as they cost only £200 each (What is a lot but sort of worth it when your currently paying £300 a year on Cloud Storage).
