Shinra at Corel vibes.

Why? I thought it was a pretty reasonable reply.

2 years is a long time. Driver issues are few and far between these days. Multi monitor support has greatly improved as well. I can’t help you with your software requirements if you’re stuck using proprietary programs like Photoshop. I can tell you that as a professional graphic designer and illustrator the alternatives to “industry standard” software are powerful and arguably better (Inkscape) on the Linux side. It does take time and effort to retrain years of shortcuts and workflow experience, but it’s definitely doable.

Maybe one day when you’re feeling adventurous give Linux another shot. I know for a lot of people the ethics of open source vs closed aren’t really important, but it’s still fun to see what else is out there.

I’m not sure I understand the question. Pipewire is the audio server, replacing Pulse. It does have frontends that allow routing from different devices, channels, software etc and distributions that are using Pipewire now have interface elements that allow you to control application use of audio devices. I’m not sure I answered your question at all lol.

Ah I see. Pipewire has made audio production a lot easier with far fewer latency issues. I know the FL Studio crowd is pretty diehard, but if you’re ever feeling adventurous there’s a lot more in the audio space now. I personally use Reaper to record my guitar through my Audient interface and have no issues. I’m not much of a beats and loops guy though so YMMV.

Catholics… If hell exists it’ll be full of 'em.

What can’t you do on Linux that keeps you on Windows or Mac?

Not caring is why these corporations have the power they do.

That dog was a better person than you.

An American made smart phone would be garish, run hot and flake out in record time.

Those of you that received the text does that mean y’all are registered Republicans?

I always find it odd that posts like this get any downvotes at all. Like, are people really that in love with Windows and or Microsoft?

You get it. Apple fans, which by the way I think it’s stupid to be a fan of a product/company, can’t admit that the devices they buy and the company that makes them have flaws. They view the marketing as objective truths when the objective truth is Apple is first and foremost a very profitable company and those profits matter above everything else. They aren’t a “good” company and will follow the path that leads them to profits. Taking a single chip and making 30 devices that all do different things is proof of that.

Alright then.

I’m not treating you like a dumbass, Apple is.

I wish they were banning dairies all together. These animals don’t deserve the treatment they receive.

I think it’s hilarious that people will buy an iPhone, iPad and Macbook and not realize the only thing that’s different about them is the software. Any restriction is manufactured.

edit: apparently I’ve upset some Apple users. I apologize. My point was that the features each class of device has is manufactured to ensure you buy 3 products instead of 1 while the hardware inside is essentially the same. Like restricting touch and pen support isn’t about hardware limitations; it’s about getting you to spend. If you’re happy with a company that does that you, then hey you do you, but don’t get upset when that fact is pointed out.

They’re the bad guy… Duh.

A lot of things tend to not change in the South.
