Most likely yeah :D After all even the other community got burned by CentOS and decided to move to Ubuntu in mass instead of picking a true open-source distro…

I’ve been toying with the idea of getting back into Linux for a while now. While I’m still on W10 I’m not rushing, and haven’t installed a TPM Module so Windows doesn’t force W11 on me yet, but when I have no choice that may push my hand. There’s some stuff I find easier on Windows but Linux has really caught up in the past 20 years and I reckon I could daily it in the coming years.

You clearly are just talking because you have a mouth. Proton/Wine has just reached 15k game playable. And they are currently porting around 1000 games per month. https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/steam-deck-hits-15000-games-rated-playable-and-verified/

What games? Games with Anti-cheat WORK, its the companies that dont allow players to play them on Linux.

I wish I could switch to Inkscape, but it’s not there yet.

It is really good lately and only getting better, but there are 2 major issues I have with Inkscape.

1. Tabs (as in, tabulation, the \t character) in text objects. You can find workarounds, like splitting your text into multiple objects and aligning them on your canvas, but it’s just not as good as being able to align your text using proper text alignment tools. Tabulation doesn’t work in Inkscape because it’s not in SVG spec, AFAIK.

2. Object styles. Again, there are workarounds, but they’re not as good. Can you create a text style called “numbering”, use it to number a lot of stuff in your document, then just change font family (or make it italic, or bold) all of the numbers at once by changing the “numbering” style? I don’t think it’s currently possible. Sure, inkscape is not a word processor. But can you make an object of style “banner” with a blue gradient fill, orange 2 px stroke and 50% transparency, use it multiple times, then when you need to change from blue gradient to red gradient just change the “banner” style? Again, there are ways to achieve this, but if you do this kind of stuff, inkscape is just not ready to replace your tools.

Don’t get me wrong, I really want to switch to FOSS all the way and wait for these things to get implemented. As soon as they’re there, I’ll be the first to make the switch. But it’s not now, unfortunately.

If I’m wrong, I’ll be happy to stand corrected.

unless youre using Photoshop or Adobe as a senior youre just barking at tree.

That’s the point. The problem is that it doesn’t require the user to be senior to run into issues, it just requires them to be a professional user who has to collaborate within an industry that is standardized around some specific propriety software and people expect formats from that specific software.

That’s the keyword “most”. Someone who spends 8h/day inside an app (or group of apps) wants it to work 100% of the time at the maximum performance / with the least amount of small glitches, delays and annoyances.
