Novial

Since Mrs. Erinaceus is considering switching, I was going to try and steer her towards Mint, but since she’s a gamer and I’m not (I know, boring) perhaps this would not be the best choice? Please tell me more.

Now that almost everyone on planet earth has a small camera with them at all times, it would have been really cool to have discovered some supernatural stuff, be it ghosts, Big Foot, Nessie, whatever (and someone still might, who knows?), but instead all we get is police brutality. 🙁

I don’t want to in any way denigrate the hardworking folks who work on WINE, but from personal experience, I have never gotten it to work with anything. I’ve actually had much better luck with VMs. I believe that WINE itself has a scorecard for how well certain apps behave with it, to wit:

https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=18332

https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=20209

Neither of which sounds terribly promising, unfortunately.

You could probably run Affinity on VirtualBox, but that means still having to deal with Windows, and running a resource-intensive program on it that way can be sort of, well, rickety-feeling.

If GIMP isn’t missing any particular features you need, you may just want to steel yourself and get used to the new work flow. In any event, good luck! 🙂

If no workaround can be found, I may finally be able to get Mrs. Erinaceus switched to Linux…

@xorvixen@lemmy.ml: I’m not familiar with Affinity, so unfortunately I can’t speak to that. It looks like it’s not Linux compatible, but you could always run it in a virtual machine (which, if you’re not familiar with, sounds kind of scary and hard, but if I can set one up, I’m fairly confident that just about anyone else can too!).

There’s also Viva, which is proprietary, but does have a Linux version (actually looks to be more of an InDesign replacement, so scratch that).

You can always go through what AlternativeTo recommends, and see what works best fot you.

What do you feel is missing in GIMP? If, by any chance it’s full CMYK support, I believe that Krita has that and possibly other features you may be looking for as well.

@ComradeMiao@lemmy.world: Yeah, I do feel that Linux comes up a bit short in the PDF editing department. Even though it’s proprietary, I do really like Master PDF editor, for which I believe there is a free version, but I do think is worth paying for if there’s room in your budget for it. Also, have a look at this.

I don’t know about games, but I have had the thought in the past that if there were really good alternatives to Adobe products (which for the most part do exist, at least for my needs) that people could quite easily ditch Windows if they wanted to and would never look back. Due to enshittification, I think it’s only going to become more and more intrusive over time.

Anyway, hope this helps!

Depending on what you need, I might be able to suggest some Adobe alternatives to you, having just been through this myself.

Yet another reminder that in America we can’t have nice things. 🙁

Didn’t even think of that. Thanks! 🤩

My understanding is that Chinese EVs are pretty much superior in every way to their American counterparts, but will we ever get the chance to test drive one over here?

BTW, how do yachts taste?

EDIT: Ok, what I wanted you to respond was something like: “The yachts themselves are nothing more than shiny floaty slow-moving food tins that, when gently pried open, are often found to contain many delectably rich (in more ways that one) juicy humans with ketamine-spiced blood, chomp.”

Has it got a calendar by any chance, or is one planned?

We deserve to lose to China.

Ok, so I’m not the only one! If I hit “quit” instead of just swiping the window away when I’m done, the next time I open Fennec it doesn’t hang, but I usually forget to do this. I also have it set to delete everything (except, I think, cookies) on “quit.”

@WaffleWarrior@lemmy.zip, what specific problems are you running up against? I’m confident that my fellow lemmings and I can help you figure out how to minimize or at least reduce whatever privacy related tech issues you’re having.
