That’s because the thread is about photoshop
Generally just use multiple sources, I used Ground News for quite a while.
Every news outlet will have their biases, that is completely normal everyone has biases, even when you have multiple people reviewing the content, only a fraud will tell you they’re completely unbiased. So just seek multiple sources, preferably from also multiple countries and languages when applicable.
everyone has and always had an agenda.
Aside from that, generally I can agree, the commodification of news and profit-seeking, as often is the case, have ruined everything.
If I may ask, what are you switching to? cause in terms of privacy (without sacrificing usability and other important factors) the phone market looks like a hot pile of garbage. Well I guess FairPhones exist and they’re about as good as you can get but still runs android.
After spending some time volunteering in Ukraine I concluded that probably the best option to ethically buy clothes might just be to buy the Made in UA clothes from Ukrainian local stores tbh.
Sorry but saying Linux users don’t like paying for things is just not true. In fact stats about gaming from Humble Bundle (I think, don’t remember exactly) demonstrates the opposite: that Linux users will happily pay and on average more than windows users.
As for paying maintainers of important packages etc I think states (and corpos) should start doing it given how much of the IT infrastructure depends on them.
Tbf the taxes thing is only a US and maybe a few others thing.
Again: According to Adobe itself, 98% of computer users don’t use photoshop AT ALL. That includes windows users. It’s a problem only a few people have.
I need you to understand 98% of windows users (and computer users in general) don’t need or use photoshop and advanced photo editing
Terminals are only limited in tasks that require graphics content, what a shocker.
For all other cases they’re vastly more powerful than any GUI can be, because no developer can (or should, it’s unrealistic to ask them to do this) match the amount of complex operations terminal commands can reach with one string or script. With GUIs you also have to deal with different sets and toolkits, like GTK, Qt, etc etc.
There’s use-cases where GUIs work better and cases where terminals work better and which ones belong where also depends on the user, but saying terminals are more limited than GUIs and bad is flat out wrong and dishonest.
I think it’s the opposite, GUIs are often convoluted and rudimental compared to the power of the terminal. The terminal can be very sophsticated.
Just because it’s how we used to do things in the past it doesn’t mean it’s archaic, quite the opposite it’s a very powerful and useful tool that no GUI can ever possibly match, in fact generally GUIs are either for noobs (and I don’t mean this in a derogatory way) and/or convenience, but you can’t really match the ease of automating, power, and freedom a terminal provides when in the hands of someone who understands what they’re doing.
terminal is also useful as a cross-distro way of doing things and helps avoid cluttered, bad or ugly UIs. Of course the degree at which someone prefers the terminal over a GUI and for which applications is 95% subjective, the other 5% being when either a GUI is pretty much necessary (i.e. image editing) or viceversa (i.e. automation, looking like a l33t h4x0r to impress the ladies/boys/enbies, managing the 3PBs of monkey memes)
best way: try to use it for daily tasks. Copying and moving files? terminal, moving around? terminal, editing text? vim. Etc etc. Eventually you will learn to use it.
Also check out RobetrsElderSoftware’s “[command] is my favorite Linux command” shorts to find out new commands. Also install tldr (sudo apt install tldr
on mint, sudo pacman -S tldr
on Arch & derivatives) it’s very helpful when you want more (and better formatted) info than [command] --help
but less than man [command]
don’t run Doom with them
Some people here say space, but anything that takes you to space contains microplastics, in fact you yourself contain microplastic. The only way to avoid microplastics is simply to not exist at all. And I don’t mean dying, when you die you still have microplastics in your body.
A multitude of factors aligning together.
I was aware windows was kinda shit for quite a long time, but as a gamer linux was just not good for me back in the day. (This assumption that I couldn’t game stayed until after the switch)
Fast-forward to university, I was given by my parents an old laptop with an old unsupported Linux Mint version on it, didn’t quite like it I thought it looked ugly and old and I was still assuming it worked like Windows, which kead to a bad experience, but it didn’t bother me too much since I mostly only used firefox and libreoffice, then that laptop broke and got a new one with windows. For this laptop I had assumed that playing videogames wasn’t an option, laptop wasn’t powerful enough but still managed to run a few games.
A year~ish later one of the courses teaches a very little basic python, I started to like programming things and started using the WSL because it was so much easier to work in there, but I found it to be annoying to have to copy and paste every time I edited something, so I watched a few YouTube videos and did some research, waited to finish my STALKER Anomaly game and then ended up switching to Linux, no dual boot. I already used mostly FOSS software like LibreOffice and Firefox so it was not too hard. Linux also got me more interested in learning computers in general (I was already somewhat tech savvy but way more now) so after 1 and a half years I am definitely not looking back.
Also swotched my desktop, and found out that gaming works perfectly fine too now and all of my games run, so I literally have no reason to use windows any more.
I didn’t say branding isn’t important I’m saying that out of 8 billion people only like less than 1 billion has this issue. A lot of people, even in government positions of various countries, don’t speak english (shocker I know), therefore they probably don’t know what else gimp could mean, yet they still don’t use that software, because it doesn’t advertise itself and because it honestly isn’t quite as good as other software.
Not everyone is an emglish speaker so not everyone know what gimp means.
The name isn’t the problem, it’s that gimp is hard to use and has a weird UI
just don’t use extensions. OP’s usecase doesn’t need them
