It’s hilarious that you think that proprietary software is actually better.
Adobe products often have no real equal. It sucks, but it’s the way it is. Gimp doesn’t come close to Photoshop, Inkscape is almost as good as Adobe Illustrator, and After Effects is the most capable video editing software I’ve ever used.
It sucks that they try and lock you into proprietary file formats, like Substance Painter.
Yeah, the only software that can stand toe to toe with Adobe is Affinity, and they’re winning at the no subscription pricing. Other than that Adobe is really no equal when it comes to FOSS, a lot of those alternative is just us tolerating the flaw. Used to do stuff with photoshop, illustrator, flash, and after effect, switching to foss is…rough. Like you said, Gimp is barely usable, inkscape is good but far behind illustrator, and i don’t think flash and after effect have any foss alternative when i looking for it. The only free alternative to after effect that is good is davinci resolve, but that’s still proprietary.
I hope all of these anti-GIMP folks have looked into the 3.0-RC* releases…
Well, sometimes it happens. Lemmy was semi-broken during the APIocalypse, and there still isn’t such a thing as a FOSS Facebook, or search engine backend for that matter.
Can you get (almost) every single person on there? Until not facebook is unreplaceable.
I haven’t really looked into it, but isn’t Friendica supposed to be the FOSS Fediverse Facebook?
Add to that photo editing (as much as GIMP is great…). I would guess DAW and video editing would fall under that category, too…and good luck finding many AAA open source games.
Photo and Video editing is actually pretty good, since the backends (magick/ffmpeg) are open source
