I use gimp for professional graphic design at my workplace, nobody gives a shit.

Meanwhile, on c/technology there is another thread on how linux should ditch the terminal (for some reason).

I’ve been hearing about Linux elitists for the last 20 years, and I have yet to meet one. But what I do see is an endless wave of trolling and bad faith arguments about the supposed complexity of Linux.

They treat a wide array of developers, maintainers and enthusiasts as employees of Linux inc, and now they’re grumpy because their imaginary ticket submitted to a nonexisting helpdesk is not being processed.

I have recieved much more help and support from the Linux community than from any other proprietary software helpdesk.

Try being a graphic designer or video editor. I’ve stopped running out of disk space and started running out of SATA slots on the mobo.

Blender is so versatile, and has so many applications that you have to end up with a cluttered interface. Since the alternatives have licenses that have a steep cost, I would say that putting up with a clunky interface is well worth it.

Thanks! 🤗

Hear hear! It’s wild to see what Mac and Windows users put up with. The Linux experience may sometimes be cryptic and frustrating, but at least I know I’m not paying for the privilege of being shat on by a large corporation.

Flatpak is love, flatpak is life.

Installing Linux on your buttplug is a bold move, I say.

Once again, give me a reasonable alternative and a distro that implements it, or stop whining.

Go slowly and use plenty of lube, right?

Damn, maybe I should give Arch a try…

I am not interested in being preached at unless you have a workable alternative and a good reason why should I switch over.

Concentration camps

File this under duuuuuuhhhhh

I gnash my teeth and cry into my pillow every night because I’m not being data harvested by Microsoft. I open my taskbar and wail, for there are no ads to be displayed.

Linux. Not even once.

I’ve been reading stories about the return of airships all my life. Unless they make them weatherproof, it’s not happening.

I’ve used a kobo deluxe for several years and they’re great

Yeah, I never though actual humans could fall into the uncanny valley.

Not everyone lives in a cyberpunk dystopia, there are state funded healthcare systems that mandate long term support for medical devices. Clown emoji yourself, buddy.
