- omnimus 10y agothis is so true. If you are photographer then you are ok onn linux. If you want to make books profesionaly there is no replacement for indesign. Scribus doesnt have multiline paragraph composing. So technicaly if you want to set something to the block, you will get always better result in indesign. 3D and photography are interesting to programmers but books... they make them with TeX. But with tex its hard to do columns and more complicated composition. One way could be scribus latex render windows but its somehow shitty. Its too niche thing i guess. Same goes for After Effects - node based composing is fine on linux but layer based for animation (motion graphics). AE only thing on the planet. Its getting frustrating especialy with recent decline of mac os and mac hw. Again - hackintosh to the rescue but try to find hackintosh laptop.
- tracker1 10y agoI did a hackintosh on an older thinkpad, but the experience was less than great, and had to use a usb wireless, as I didn't want to replace the wifi at the time. I went to linux shortly after, and that experience was slightly better, until an intel graphics regression made the system unusable, then back to windows.
