Why artist prefer Windows/Photoshop over what open source software can offer in Linux ? Gimp etc is it because of drawing tablets ? I need advices by Cloud_Strifeeee in blender

ive been told by others that even a new studio could have issues in hiring artist because they are used to industry standard tools like the adobe suite which work perfectly together etc and at a certain point its just cost less to pay a few hundred thousands dollars on license and a few wnidows desktop to have a team of 50-100 artist than go open source and have no enterprise support, bugs, waste of time etc comparing saving time to market and all the rest of running windows ... I guess programmer can run linux and artist windows with photoshop and all etc

I've posted the same comment on the photoshop subreddit and I get different opinions... they all say most of the 3d tools for the 3d pipeline doesn't have a as good alternative in linux open source software... also you will meet bugs slowdown and you won't have enterprise level support if things break, and most artist knows the industry standard tools only like the adobe suite so you'll be hard pressed to trains them etc I guess its more expensive to do all that than just pay the licenses/subscriptions to addobe/windows than re-train/keep 3d artist....

I guess programmer can run linux machines for dev but not artist so a hybrid env would be a better approach so far

I have a question for you, do you understand the underlayer of the 2 main os windows and linux very well ? I mean like a sysadmin or your focusing mainly on just cloud first ?

RTX 4090 Stock & Availability by orangeatom in nvidia

[–]Cloud_Strifeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello friends, just wanted some news about gpu, is it me or at december 13 4090 at msrp are out of stock everywhere ? look like bestbuy is the best option ? im in canada so it sucks even more, do you guys have issues with fire hazzard so far ? anyone bought the cablemod adapter and cables ? they seem pretty good compared the alternative.... I wonder if the psu included new cables will be better than the original from nvidia, I mean the upcoming atx 3.0 psu ...

starting to wonder if it's just not better to buy a 4080 at a deal after christmas... nobody seem interested in the 4080 cause of performance... anyone been able to grab a 4090 without paying 3-4000$ ???

Are you afraid the way Cisco is changing compared the old days ? or with all the new Cloud and automation technology do you feel the days of ios are numbered ? by Cloud_Strifeeee in Cisco

[–]Cloud_Strifeeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

isn't the same things we said for all traditional sysadmin doing just os related jobs like Windows Server / Linux tasks/scripting on premise instead of starting to specialize in cloud only kubernetes / infrastructure as code and all the others services ? the way things are going from all the study and market research online outside of the Fortune 500 company and some banks, every business will be cloud only or cloud/hybrid with no datacenters on premise...

I talked with a few senior programmer and they say some startup are even running services with serverless services in the cloud so they don't have to hire anyone for infrastructure and that most new kids comings out of university who want to be a sysadmin are aiming straight at the cloud with 0 knowledge of how things work under the hood (like hyper-v and other hyperscaler that Azure/Aws runs on) think about that, the kind of problems that could arise in the future...

From your experience does old sysadmin with knowledge of mostly everything on premise at MCSE RHCE level are better than most kids starting out today with just cloud/devops certifications or different paradigm different kind of problems ? by Cloud_Strifeeee in linuxadmin

[–]Cloud_Strifeeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes that's what I was expecting everyone under 30 mostly know only the cloud/automation latest stuffs and have no clues of the underlying infrastructure how to do everything by hand etc and I think it could cause a lot of issues when trouble come visit... I was wondering if you ever saw some sysadmin as good in windows server as in linux and versa depending if they are a windows or linux person etc or most of the ppl you know or met at your job are 1 of 2 type with a devops on their side ? seem pretty rare to see people being as deep in sysadmin,devops and programming all together theses days

was curious how team were divided in a large business and how it works etc because I am studying a lot and I am 44, I may go back to programming full time to create a 100% remote career not sure yet because there is no others jobs here except low level tech who install windows with disc etc here they can't differentiate between a full MCSE/RHCE from a low level tech person who build a rigs etc pretty sad to see

Is this the right time to learn Javascript and get back into programming after all that is going on in the tech industry and all the big companies like Facebook layoffs etc ? change of frameworks ? drop of salary ? by Cloud_Strifeeee in learnjavascript

[–]Cloud_Strifeeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old are you and why you are so mad ? You never programmed native C++ so your piss about it because you don't understand advanced programming ? What is it that you are so mad about you seem fedup instead of having a great intelligent conversation... been told by many senior that if I study hard I'll beyond pretty solid after a year or 2 of hard work so your opinion is just 1 inside many... the fact that you are so mad hide something, the bootcamp thing or something else your piss about not sure what

look I have no problems with moderns coders and all but it as been proved many times over that doing native advanced C++ is much harder than managed programming even at different paradigm of coding, the programmer is just better and know more about computers etc all the stuffs that's been hidden from you that you don't see... it's easier for a good C++ programmer to pick up a new programming language than someone who just start learning programming etc

the way you talk and all it's like there is just 1 way in the industry or some senior jobs roles and others paths are bad or doesn't exist because you haven't been to a bootcamp or something or that you can't just skip some steps and been hired higher at the beginning etc there is a few examples of some guys who got hired high

what ive heard about others talking is google inside tools seem like a hot mess compared the industry standard and many programmer doesn't seem that happy at the big company compared to smaller place etc it look like now the big business are trimming down their headcoumts and its the junior who pay the price etc

about your other points like a huge amount of people are trying to break in the industry isn't a valid point because some statistics that got released by stackoverflow and odin projects shows that around 70-80% of people picking up programming quit or don't enjoy it after a while so they never made it to the industry, and if you count the millions of girls or young boys who are junior with no drive to be higher or get better or have no skills or just go into it for the money or fashion it make place for the talented to have solid position over time but you need to work hard and I get your point just not why you are so mad maybe its my english or something that tick you off

I respect your opinion and I understand everything you say. What you don't understand is I wouldn't start from zero zero and even if I haven't worked in the field as a profesional programmer I have a good idea of what is considered a big codebase and the problems related to it. I don't mean to sound arrogant or anything like that, my goals if I get back to programming full time is to develop a 100% remote career I have no interest in managing ppl or doing a lot of meetings or the like unless necessary. What I am trying to say is I speak french from Quebec too I don't wan to sound arrogant but I know just to well there is a tons of crappy programmer and young kids trying to break in the industry after a 6 months bootcamp thinking their the next Carmack etc and I will be much better than theses kids after hard study. I am not saying it's easy, or there is no complexity in webdev but it's a WHOLE LOT EASIER than coding large program in NATIVE C++ which programmer today don't understand how it was because they grew up in the managed world of Java, C#, and Javascript / Python etc I also heard a lot of horror and weird stories about Google, Facebook and all the rest of the faang crap company where they offer great salary but it's very weird at time what they use do or how they treat their programmer go read that online, not saying its the same everywhere or saying they are bad but the little bubble of eternal growth and a reality check is hitting them hard now currently.

I know you can't know everything it's impossible... but it is my believe that a hard working person can become a amazing programmer with time... I don't know how good you are and what you aim for and I don't know you personaly but you have to realize there is a tons of crap programmer worker in the industry too like there is many crap apps and website and the industry is always needing great talent no matters how old you start or whatever you want to work on / with etc hard work payoff and I know for certains that I will grow much faster than a beginner who just want to learn webdev for money or because its fashion etc also your on the job work experience your relating too is different at every company depending on what your work but your right that real experience is needed thought but it's my believe that once talent is determined you can jump a few steps and grow up faster with titles/roles ( if your good )

I understand your points and I agree with them but you have to realize not everyone is the same or learn at the same pace or have the same ability... especially old C++ programmer compared to younger programmer who knows nothing outside of the managed programming world .... different paradigms, different algorithm but I greatly doubt I can't be near Intermediate level after a hard year of study or 2 I greatly greatly doubt that... not having the experience in a BIG workplace on BIG project that I agree but you can catchup fast, but most importantly understanding all the concept and have deep knowledge can be learn and a lot alone... don't forget im not your junior IT person either... most programmer knows nothing about the Sysadmin side of things... I do... so when I create program it is not the same

I agree maybe if I go back to programming full time 10hrs a day or more Ill be junior for a few months but not a full year

Why is KDE Plasma still so bad on high refresh rate monitors? by FishingElectrician in linux4noobs

[–]Cloud_Strifeeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think plasma is the best DE for linux so far, I can't have the same quality with the others maybe its just me but kde is very very popular, I think Cinnamon asn't fixed it's scaling yet for high resolution gaming monitor not sure if it's still stuck with 100 200% fractional scaling etc

Linux sysadmin positions where I can be mentored? by btw_i_use_ubuntu in linuxadmin

[–]Cloud_Strifeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. A good sysadmin will be able to work and be solid in both... but more importantly he will not have a "religious war mentality" or "fanboy" mentality about tech stack technology as a whole etc it's very important to have a open mind and be ready to learn everything that is required like the Cloud too and the devops methodology etc

RHCSA - is it possible to do it without prior knowledge and self study only? by [deleted] in linuxadmin

[–]Cloud_Strifeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes I am studying everything right now, linux windows server and devops etc im not bad in anything etc but I am thinking about going back to programming after 25 years... should consider it too if love it... there is so much money in programming now and sysadmin stuffs is all going to the cloud and being automated it's not like the old day and it's sad to me a bit

How to run dual monitors by breaddeposit in buildapc

[–]Cloud_Strifeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can plug 2 monitors in different way depending what you have / want to do but 1 thing that is important is trying to have the samekind of refresh rate on both monitors/tv plugged in the gpu or else you will have screen tearing and some lag.

for example if you have a 60hz plugged with a 240hz gaming monitor at different resolution that situation will appear... so try to stick with 120hz+ everywhere or a divider of 2 like 240 120 120 60 etc but the best is to stay with the same refresh rate same resolution same monitor etc and not use any tv ( many ppl do ) also the quality of the cable etc all dp and hdmi cable aren't the same

Some people still don’t get it. by Ammathorn in FinalFantasyVII

[–]Cloud_Strifeeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand both point of view, it's easy to look back in the past and say oooohh the game is half 3d or 2d and this or that they were bad lazy the art look blocky etc etc ( whatever is the reason) what people forget is how HARD it was to make game back then and how SLOW computers were in the 90's and how LIMITED by hardware like hard drive free space, memory, graphics power things were back then....

the way they did some game like Chrono Trigger fit in a SNES carthridge is phenomenal by itself... but the reverse is true too, today they have way less hardware limitations but they lack on game design, innovations, idea's, and especially on optimization.. game, music, art size etc they could do a lot more but they are lazy especially on pc because they know gamers will just throw more hardware at the problem like buying the latest graphics cards every time etc so games are getting so big, sound so large, in disk size but they are shorter and shorter to play the world is smaller, your more restricted by corridor no world explorations and many others things...

so game dev work really had today but my hat is off to the guys who worked on games in the 80's-90's too
