I wanted photoshop to become a graphic artist around 22 years ago. Didn’t want to pirate it. Friend suggested gimp. Use Slackware as a distro. Spent a couple years recompiling X11 and tons of debugging of Linux issues. And that’s how I launched my career in developer / sysadmin. 20 years later in a “wait. What happened to my original career idea?” Moment, I finally took some art classes at a local college.
