And how is that determined? I found the shit that I took this morning immensely creative.

Dude, those are nice programs but if you need professional work done those are of very limited use. The only thing that is almost as useful as Adobe is Affinity and that’s also not running on Linux.

This photo is way older than any AI project.

I love Linux but Programs like CAD and professional graphics software don’t run. Still Linux is only an option for programming and gaming.

And the Screenshot is made in the underdark, right west of the entrance below the goblin camp. This game deserves all of it praise.

What I don’t get is that there is not even a discussion about repercussions, regardless of what country is affected. The money paid annually to M$ would be sufficient to equip any government computer with Linux and develop Linux based variants for any special case software needed.

I mean I get why there is no change, their lobbyists are entrenched as hell, but there isn’t even a discussion!

Well technically they did raise awareness.

Have not used Standard Notes yet. How does it compare to Obsidian?

I wanted to fully switch to Linux and FOSS for a while now but specialised software like CAD and image editing are either non existent or completely useless for professional purposes in their FOSS versions. What angers me most is that most is them could run on wine easily if the developers did some minor changes so it seems intentional.

Some of the tech they developed and use is open source. But the core tech is closed. For me, that’s good enough as long as they keep up acting with integrity they do.

Been using them for a while before switching to their paid version. Of course they are closed source and a business, so any hype and over the top praise is misplaced. That said they are indeed one of max a handful companies that never did anything to make me feel that my trust is misplaced. Their service is great, the products are well polished and reliable. Development is slow and they aren’t cheap. Their target audience is very security and privacy aware so any betrayal of trust would be punished incredibly hard. In that light, their own self interest should be a good insurance, should you be uncertain.

MacOS, iOS and stock Android, too for that matter. Dark times.

I’m so proud of the polish people to manage to get out of the claws of that more and more dictatorship-like regime by purely democratic means. I never thought such a thing possible but it inspires hope.

This is a good and valid point but in the case of X, the real shit show started after our during the renaming period. Do if you want to point out the idiotic bullshit, I think X is the way to go. Nevertheless, that’s hard to pronounce, like “I re-X-ed your X” sounds like a messed up relationship issue.

I tried to install ArchiCAD via bottles done time ago. At first I thought the DRM inhibits it but they even have native Linux support. And ArchiCAD does have a good MacOS version, too. I don’t get it…

It seems to format documents differently though. That means it scrambled a few files for a co-worker I sent it to who uses MS Office. Stuff like that never happens with LibreOffice although I like the OpenOffice UI better.

For office, there are great alternatives, imho. LibreOffice, Thunderbird, Obsidian, to name a few. What functions do you need that these don’t offer?

In my experience, gaming in Linux works even better than on Windows. Every game I installed so far was supported by proton.

The main thing holding Linux back is professional software I think. If Photoshop and the likes are supported better, a lot of people will switch and find out that they also can play games on Linux.

I appreciate this. It does require some skill to get a good picture like this from AI so there is indeed since skill involved, too, if that matters.

Nope it doesn’t. Mine works without any modifications but I heard that it happens occasionally. There are some easy steps to set up FF to work again, should be easy to look up.
