Just like migrating from Reddit to Lemmy it's the same as migrating from Windows to Linux, there's shortcomings and learning curve and the more I use Lemmy the more I hate about Windows, because unlike reddit Lemmy is open source and open source softwares communities is more popular than proprietary communities and people like to shit on them (and I loved it). (Sorry for horrible English)

What are you currently using instead of Adobe's suite? I know about inkscape. And although I applaud the efforts, Scribus and Gimp seem to be no match for Indesign and Photoshop.

Have you tried Krita?

[–] Drummyralf 1 points 5 months ago

I haven't yet, but I'll check it out! I thought that was more a digital art/drawing program though, but could still be useful.

That is impressive, as that was not my experience at all. I installed nobara since I use my computer for 90% games and 10% Photoshop. Dragons dogma 2 would continuously crash on launch, Hades 2 ran at 25 fps and required like half an hour of troubleshooting to figure out it was somehow using my onboard graphics so I manually had to disable that, and kingdom come deliverance played perfectly... Until I tried to fast travel and it instantly crashed every time.

Unfortunately, it just seems like Linux is not the answer for me. At this point in my life I just want things to work and not spend 45 mins+ trying to figure out why my $2k computer isn't working. I'm a blue collar guy so have absolutely 0 experience in programming which to me kinda seems like prerequisite if you do anything more than using Firefox.
