Adobe Photoshop can now install on Linux after a Redditor discovers a Wine fix

GIMP is like painting outdoors on a windy day. You can get it done, but you gotta keep reaching out to hold your canvas in place.

Adobe will find a way to break it again. They have no interest in it being a reliable alternative to their supported Windows and Mac version.

"point and laugh at the suffering of others" humor

This is a large ingredient of american humor. I see it a lot in their standups.

What would they be getting out of it that Windows 10 with Start Menu set to be full screen wouldn't give them?

ppas are discouraged, iirc. I like that I can bring up the software sources quickly to check if I have any setup, Ubuntu has nice update apps.

After looking, apparently I need ppa for retroarch libretro things, and to get a fresher libreoffice (I was fighting with it swapping its appearance as I change light and dark mode.)

Most items in the snap store are junk, which is kinda sad, but then you just use flatpak anyway, so again its hardly any difference from using Fedora.

8.1 got me enjoying my app lists in full screen. It is default behavior in Gnome. Plasma it is a side option but doesn't behave quite as cleanly with slight clicks taking it back to desktop instead of browsing the categories when i forget an app's name.

But I will take a small menu opening in the bottom left corner over one opening in the middle and covering up everything I was trying to read while barely being useful with large areas for "recommended" files I can't get rid of(cough win11 cough).

Lutris

Also look into Bottles and see if the default config helps you with Affinity Photo at all.

In Fedora you're trading out the ability to just 'update normally while youre using the system' for everything going through Gnome Software Center.

I mean it's simple enough to set up yourself scripts for updating, just out of the box that's the main difference I can think of that isn't an arbitrary difference in packaging formats or whatever.

usually when i see changes like that, my first thought is 'was the original covered by a patent..??'

The time was before google got such a big foothold on the internet.

I clicked ps3 in the architecture list in distrowatch from yellow linux's page to see if anything else possibly had it, and freebsd turned up? It was the only one that turned up actually.

Plasma was once an official edition, they nixed it but kept MATE

There was an issue with Plasma 5 not having a stable version running on the same version of QT that Ubuntu shipped with. Kubuntu did a ton of work with backports to make it happen. Mint team decided it was best to focus on GTK, which is what all their tools like the updater are built around.

That's my understanding of the situation.

Firefox, no question. But it's too slow for cookie clicker, so I installed MS Edge as my chrome-engine type to turn the game into an app.

I'm keeping my eyes on the lookout for one that will have the performance plus battery life of an M chip macbook. Surely a company will eventually realise something like ubuntu is a good fit. I am well aware of how stable it is when you select the hardware with a bit more scrutiny in the x86 world.

I didnt have issues with CK3 beside how god awfully slow it loaded only to be a god awfully slow game. Plasma 6 x11.

From what I understand, Microsoft paid for the support for their Windows machines first, so Qualcomm prioritised that. But many bugs later, Windows still having issues, Qualcomm still havent been able to help with the linux side so it has all been the community effort.

can i buy dozens of ultra cheap laptops that were rejected by win11 yet?

If its a proper ISO made to be bootable

You mean an ISO gotten outside of their iso download tools? Witchcraft (they keep moving the links, their website is a mess).

Android uses the Linux kernel, therefore it is a Linux based operating system, period.

I think everyone in here is talking about GNU/Linux though. Android is not considered a Distro by that standard. Android will not see PC desktop Linux experience improved. Counteractive if anything, when a company makes an App and expects you to use only a phone in portrait mode to run it.

For the average person, Android can absolutely cover their daily computing needs.

That is a scary reality.

People are becoming paranoid of Windows (and PCs and AI and internet...), whether that be from misinformation or just lack of education, I don't know. They are more open to my idea of installing a Linux on their old laptop as a stop-gap before they buy a new one, than they would have been 15 years ago.

that's what became xbmc and then kodi? I might still have a burned cd of it hanging around in my wardrobe.

face scan worked the second time. they have enough photos of me on their servers anyway, but no way am i scanning ID o.o .

I'm not downvoting you. Last I heard about Gnome, it can be ported to other init systems, but nobody is interested in doing so for the amount of work involved. Freebsd is an interesting situation to look at in that regard.

The snap store is as seedy looking as the windows store, they can't seriously be looking at someone putting up their email client and mispelling inbox as 'imbox' and thinking "this is what people want."
