Need Adobe software for work. Want to play online games that have anti-cheat. Also like to run mods in my games.
I have a shitty old laptop for travelling that I’ll try to install Linux on this weekend, since I only need Firefox on that.

fascinating!


I saw similar when looking for work as a graphic designer, with duties that can be summarised as “design our printed materials, build our website (with JavaScript knowledge required), and also plan our marketing strategy”.
Then when I mentioned this in a Clients from Hell comment section, I got someone defend the practice with that small companies can’t afford to hire separate people for the 3 separate skillsets…


I’ve seen this photo used in memes since, and it’s weird to think that the poor dude is probably just some random stock photo model who now became famous as the face of “the worst person you know” 😅


yeah this may be an actual use case


Hmm thanks, but yea a word editor would probably be missing a ton of layout and image features. The closest I’ve found was Scribus but it seems pretty rough.
Yes, I tried Inkscape, but sadly found its UI very unintuitive. Also bc it only works with SVG files, it doesn’t properly support CMYK colours.
I know of Krita, but I mostly use Photoshop for image editing, not painting. And it’s the one of the three I use the rarest and has the most alternatives, so my main pain points are the other two, as long as the three programs work well together. (Which is another weakness in FLOSS software, they don’t tend to come in “suites”. Not to say that Adobe apps don’t have a ton of little inconsistencies and idiosyncrasies, but at least they can smoothly work with each other’s files.)


My main concern would be how to prevent tampering with archived pages - the owner of the second most popular site after Wayback Machine, archive.is, has been known to modify the content of archived pages for petty personal reasons. And without the sanctity of archives, the whole exercise loses its value as proof of records of the past.


software with 1:1 feature parity with Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop (except genAI crap)
Not enforced by my work, but Photoshop is honestly the least painful to replace. I’m having a lot more trouble finding fully featured alternative to InDesign and Illustrator. Scribus looks pretty rough and Inkscape has an unintuitive UI and no proper CMYK support.
