listen i'm not saying GIMP is useless but i am saying it's a misrepresentation to act like it's a perfectly acceptable 100% replacement for Photoshop and that its interface isn't totally fuckin busted. like sorry but i have been on Computer since 1994 and it is among the worst UIs i have ever seen
people are so smug about “just drop adobe” and that’s how you know they’re not doing real work with it, adobe is able to be so miserable to people because so much adobe software is literally irreplaceable right now
yeahhhh it's the same with the "just get linux" people 🫠 like okay i'm glad it works for you but it won't for me! what if we all fought for better standards/consumer rights!!!
"you can still run windows stuff on a virtual machine" or i could use windows. and still be allowed to complain that windows sucks sometimes without people telling me the solution to my problem is a hat on a hat!!! D:<
fuck around with a windows VM?? why would you tho? could you even game on that? use graphics heavy apps like CSP (I mean maybe with resource allocation, but it all sounds like such a hassle and the point is to avoid hassle)
It's gotten a lot better over the years, and at this point can be quick easy and fully functional. As far as gaming, Valve has done a *lot* of work so that most games will now run directly in Linux
But that "can" is doing a lot of work here, and you might get unlucky and it's a giant slog
I mean, once you’re saying “switch to Linux but run Win in a VM” it’s a hell of a lot easier to stay on Windows and run the WSL for all your Linux stuff you’re trying out.
