And every article like this just convinces me that switching my personal desktop to Linux a couple years ago was the right choice. I do wish that Affinity or another PS competitor had a good Linux or at least WINE support. Seems to be one of the greater gaping holes imo.
- inversetelecine 2y agoWe need more professional software for Linux. I can't switch my work PC because Autodesk, Bentley and Dassault products to name a few. Personal machines that just run Firefox and things like handbrake or VM stuff, linux works great.
- tracker1 2y agoYeah... I've found that we've definitely crossed the point where inlaws/grandma can use Linux (if they don't have to service/install themselves) as a daily driver. Professional apps definitely need work... as I mention, would be nice if a few would at least put a little effort into WINE testing and/or support in order to broaden use. Not even fully porting to Linux. This won't work for all apps, but so many have what are likely minor changes to get compatibility up.

Been daily driving Debian 12 w/ KDE for about a year now and it has been rock solid and quite enjoyable. I never imagined I would ever admit this - but I find myself frustrated by the latency of macOS on my Macbook Air more and more after how instantaneous certain things are on my workstation.
