Yes, in a virtual machine or dual-boot, sure. + +I stuck with Windows saying – “Linux isn’t user-friendly, and it’s all about the commands/terminal.” + +In my defense, I did not know a lot of things back then. But, when I finally took the leap of faith and started using Linux as a daily driver, I began to explore how things work and was blown away by many things. + +Including some of the compelling reasons why [Linux is better than Windows][1]. + +It took me a couple of days to understand the fundamentals and learn about the software utilities not available for Linux. + +But, surprisingly, I did not need to use Windows for most of my tasks, except multiplayer gaming. And, thanks to Valve, that’s about to change with the [support for BattleEye, and Easy-Anti Cheat added to Linux][2]. + +Fret not; I’m not one of those who recommends ditching other operating systems. You should always use what you are comfortable with. + +But, in this article, I want to highlight a few things why you may want to switch to Linux as a content creator like myself. + +### Efficient System Resource Usage + +![][3] + +I’m not exaggerating here, but if you are going to use [one of the best Linux distributions][4], your system resources will thank you for choosing Linux. + +Considering my scenario, I have an i5-7400 processor coupled with 16 GB of RAM. + +When I boot into Windows, the startup programs like the antivirus, software tools for peripherals, and others already eat up about 30-40% of my RAM. + +And, when I start using the browser or any other resource-intensive application, I barely get to multi-task freely. + +When it comes to Linux, unless I open many tabs in the browser or multiple programs, it does not consume a lot of memory out-of-the-box. + +Windows has a lot of services/processes running in the background, and you need to put in some effort to “de-bloat” your experience. But, Linux does not require such tweaks to manage the resources; it already does it well. + +I know it isn’t exactly an “Apples to Apples” comparison. Still, I would consider myself somewhat a power user with a lot of browser tabs active to research and multiple applications (communication, productivity, virtual machine program, etc.) while constantly monitoring system performance. + +Hence, in my experience, _I feel I can do more with Linux using the same resources compared to Windows._ + +And, as a content creator, you probably know how important it is to have an efficient system that maximizes your productivity without being a strain on your life. + +### Is It All About the Web Browsers? + +![][3] + +Let’s face it—most of the tools are being available as web services. While some programs/utilities may stick to native offerings, everything else is increasingly relying on cloud computing to help you get things done via the web browser. + +So, you should evaluate the tools you use and whether they are platform-dependent or not. + +If not, all you need to use is the web browser. + +To give you an example, I utilize a lot of tools right from the web browser like: + + * [Canva][5] + * [Microsoft Office 365][6] + * Web-based feed readers like Feedly, Inoreader + * Todist + * [CryptPad][7] + + + +And, if that’s the case, do you think there’s any reason to consider Windows? I’ll leave that up to you. + +Linux supports all the major web browsers, including Microsoft Edge. + +### Hassle-free Experience + +![][3] + +As a content creator, the less you worry about troubleshooting issues on your computer, the more time you save. + +I’m sure you know how Microsoft’s Windows fairs when it comes to buggy updates. Now and then, I will have to re-configure my audio settings or update the graphics driver, re-install programs, and clean junk files after an update. + +And, there have been a few instances where I just get stuck looking at the welcome screen after an update, annoyed by a feature added by Microsoft, and some more. + +Regarding my Linux experience, other than some NVIDIA graphics drivers issues (for some distributions like Fedora), I never had to troubleshoot for anything else. It has been a hassle-free journey so far! + +So, I focus on my work without even worrying about an update screwing up my system. + +The only inconvenience I found with Linux was developing the habit of – “_Distro hopping_,” meaning trying new Linux distributions. Considering there are a lot of choices for your desktop OS, you may be encouraged to try another distribution looking at its features. + +Here, let me point you to [Zorin OS 16][8] and [elementary OS 6][9] if you aren’t already using them (good luck!). + +### Applications for Audio, Video, and Digital Art/Photo + +While some users may warn you that Linux does not offer good application support, the answer isn’t that straightforward. + +Yes, you do not have the support for the Adobe suite and some commercial applications. But you do have alternatives. + +Of course, if you swear by a specific software tool, Linux is a big no for you. But, if you do not have specific requirements, you can always choose to explore the exciting alternatives available. + +You can find capable video editors like Kdenlive, tools like GIMP, and several other applications used by professionals. + +To get a better idea, you might want to check: + + * [Free video editors for Linux][10] + * [Tools for digital artists][11] + * [Audio editing tools][12] + + + +There are some decent, social media specific, browser-based video editors are also available. + +### Wrapping Up + +Overall, I believe that Linux can be a perfectly suitable choice for content creators and creative professionals. + +Linux as a desktop platform has improved a lot. And, with several Linux distributions pushing forward to enhance user experience, security, and reliability, it is an uncommon but beneficial choice that comes with benefits! + +What do you think about Linux as a choice for content creators?
