The point is you don’t have 8:1 in that direction and if you want adoption you need to see that.

If you are professional you use what your colleagues are using. You can’t have 8 people in photoshop and 1 person in Gimp. You are not going to get a studio to flip over to gimp if they are a Photoshop house because it will cost a lot of time and money. Especially not larger operations.

Individual freelancers? Sure. Industry capture? Way more difficult.

Those of us in media production simply can’t use Linux. We use too many complicated programs by major companies that are not native to Linux.

This is a classic “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good” situation and you’re framing it as if I am against all the things you are calling for.

I’m not sure why you’re upset about restoring net neutrality but go off I guess

 

Looking to dip my toes into Linux for the first time. I have a 2016 Intel MacBook Pro with pretty solid specs collecting dust right now that I think I’m going to use. Research so far has indicated to me that the two best options for me are likely Mint or Elementary OS. Does anyone have any insight? Also open to other OS’s. I would consider myself decently tech savvy but I am not a programmer or anything. Comfortable dipping into the terminal when the need arises and all that.

Just finished Blood, Sweat, and Pixels. Really enjoyed it, hungry for another good game dev (especially stories from the industry) book. I’ve read Significant Zero as well but not a ton yet so throw out whatever!
