I’ve just tired installing the trial of Affinity on Linux by using a script for Lutris, and I’ve failed.

The day when Serif releases an Affinity suite for Linux I’m going to buy it asap.

In the meantime, I’ll stick to Gimp and Inkscape…

People downvote you but gimp’s interface and UX is atrocious. I only use it because I’ve been using it for >20 years and I understand how it works, but still…

So I don’t want to imagine what happens to black pixels this way

Wow, great. Maybe we’ll have a stable 3.0 version by 2027.

Some bugs are so old that they can drive or drink.

Some more reasons are explained here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029610/if-a-package-is-available-as-both-a-deb-and-a-snap-which-method-is-preferrable

They’re slower than a native app, and they don’t integrate as well with the rest of the system.

Thanks. I hate snaps. I’ll probably just stop using Ubuntu.

I think Bluesky can be an exception. I think it’s way better than Mastodon from a UX standpoint. And it’s still open.

Yes, I’m sadly surprised by many open source projects still posting on that cesspool

Oh boy I should’ve done it a long time ago.

Also, nowadays the situation is even worse because young people don’t even know what a file is. They just open the apps.

I’d also add the tip of installing a Windows-looking window theme. People just want the classic window buttons (X for close, etc.), not some fancy icons.

I agree.

I used to love GNOME in the v 2.0 era, but after 3.0 it’s been a whole shit show.

I don’t agree. It’s just because you’re used to drive letters.

I think Linux filesystem is better organised. Everything is (almost) well organised in the right folder.

I highly suggests all Ubuntu users to use the vanilla Firefox version downloaded from Mozilla. It’s way better because it’s not a Snap package.

I envy you, because my 2019 MBPro has fans always spinning and it seems slow and bugged, especially with the latest macOS.

Maybe I should just try formatting, but I don’t know if it’s worth the hassle.
