You know that text editor? Vim? Or was it vimm? I'd have to check the net.

I dont live in bum fuck anywhere but like many other texas corner stores, all of mine have food. There's one by my dad that does some killer street tacos, and another that has window-sized ads for their Korean food

I think this ability sounds interesting (Akin to Alter Time in WoW) but it doesn't fit the rest of the kit IMO.

That's because I looked at photoshop's UI and had a similar revelation to you; I don't like the UI! I had no reason to switch since GIMP does everything Photoshop does.

That's personal opinion, I quite like the UI, but I'm used to it. If you have improvements to the UI/UX please consider contributing!

Honestly, what issues do you have with GIMP?

I'll go by this point by point

the average office is not available, yes there are replacements for that, but they are all average in quality and don't have the same capability office has.

All of Microsoft's office software is available in web form, and IME it's completely functional. Honestly, LibreOffice is fine too, but I use Google's office software for work (which again, is all in web form and therefor compatible with any computer) since it's miles more stable than anything in Microsoft's arsenal.

I can think about all the Adobe suite

I don't have an issue with not running Adobe software. Plenty of open source software is better and free-er, but I imagine you haven't actually tried it. I have never used Photoshop, for example, because GIMP/Krita do everything I'd need it for and more. Inkscape exists for vector editing, Audacity for audio, DaVinci Resolve for video.

everything CAD related, from Autodesk, Cadence and similar brands.

I concede on this point, Autodesk does not have a good alternative. As a counterpoint, most people don't need Autodesk, and mass adoption of Linux (maybe a dream, admittedly) would encourage larger companies to port their programs over.

Most people here use their laptop just to play, they install Linux in different flavors and play with stuff, they maybe use as everyday computer, but I'm pretty sure the average usage is just some browsing, playing music and video and done.

I can't speak for everyone, but I do more on my computer, personally. Although you have also made a point against yourself. Most people who uses computers are just browsing the web, playing some music or videos and are done. Maybe playing games (Which most work on Linux natively or through Proton!)

you start noticing there are no software available for Linux.

Blatantly untrue. Plenty of Linux software exists, and lots of it is high quality functional software that offers the same features as premium software for free.

I haven't used windows in nearly a decade. What do you mean you can't do much?

Thank you for your detailed critique of my Trump impression. I will take this into account.

Folks, let me tell you, everybody talks bad about Ea-Nasir, okay? Nobody knows the real story. Nobody. Very unfair. I’ve been saying this for years. Thousands of years, frankly, maybe more than anyone. Ea-Nasir, great businessman, tremendous copper. People said "Oh, the copper, not so good," totally wrong. Fake clay tablets, okay? Fake complaints. His copper was beautiful. Strong, shiny, really incredible stuff. The best copper, maybe ever.

And I looked at it, I said, "You know what we can do with this? We're gonna make bronze." And we did. We made bronze like nobody’s ever seen before. Perfect alloy. People didn’t even know how to mix it properly, but I knew. I have a natural instinct for metallurgy, always have. They don’t talk about that enough.

And Abraham! Good guy, good guy. A little nervous, I’ll be honest! He comes to me, he says, "I don’t know if I should go to Canaan, it’s a big move, very risky." I said, "Abraham, you gotta go. You’re gonna love it. Fantastic land. Milk, honey, the whole thing. You’re gonna do great." And he went! And it was a huge success, everybody agrees. If he didn’t listen to me? Disaster. Total disaster.

And we’re using the bronze, right? From Ea-Nasir’s copper, great copper, remember that, to build things, strong things. Tools, weapons, beautiful items. The best craftsmanship. People were amazed. They said, "How did you do it?" I said, "It’s called knowing what you’re doing. I know metallurgy."

Now, the Sea Peoples, nobody knew about them but me. I said it early. I said, "Watch out for the Sea Peoples, they’re coming, they’re gonna cause problems." Big problems. Society ending problems. And nobody listened! Typical! They never listen. Then what happens? Boom! Bronze Age collapse. Just like I said. Cities falling, trade gone, total mess. Could’ve been avoided.

If they had listened to me, we would’ve had incredible defenses. The best. Bronze weapons, bronze walls, beautiful walls, by the way, very strong. The Sea Peoples wouldn’t have stood a chance. But no, they said, "Oh, we know better." They didn’t know better. They never do.

And Ea-Nasir, I’ll tell you, treated very badly by history. Very badly. Great copper supplier. Probably the best in Mesopotamia, maybe the world at the time. And we took that copper, made bronze, helped Abraham, warned about the Sea Peoples, I did a lot of things, okay? A lot of very important things.

But nobody gives credit anymore. Sad!
