probably depends what youre into, I have my own home lab so I setup nextcloud with collabora for my personal stuff

Try out krita, rawtherapee, darktable, for photoshop stuffs, depending on what you need.

The Adobe stuff always held me back before but I finally just started messing with linux and trying stuff out. I don’t need photoshop for professional use so I was fine spending the time trying to find alternatives for what I needed

the issue I have had with PopOS is multi-monitor support, I cant rotate my rotated second monitor except through the nvidia settings, and my settings get wiped after a reboot, its a known issue for years, other than that I havent had any problems, I have been slowly finding replacement software for everything that I used on windows

I was in the same boat, I have a dual boot main machine now but I haven’t booted I to windows since I installed Pop!OS, I’ve been mostly just seeing what alternatives to everything so far, especially photo stuff, but I seem to be pretty settled now after messing with popos on a little thin client and little second pc I keep at work

What would be the final straw

It’s not that they shouldn’t be correct it’s that people are expected to do the job of multiple people with limited budgets so they contract their work out to services or don’t take the time to double check stuff.

When I worked with the marketing people ot was a team of 3 that had to cover the US mexico and Canada, so they would have people on retainer to make things like art or text for a lot of the stuff, but I can see how they could use a service that used ai for those things

Look at what happened with Wacom, so I just see this kind of cost cutting is appealing to businesses that want to cut costs at the expense of quality

Again I’m not saying it’s good but there is demand for this stuff as shitty as it is

The demand may not be by the end user but by businesses that need to fill stuff with filler text. Say you’re working for an automotive company and have to pull off a big email campaign you can use generative ai to help you type up a couple dozen emails, sure they’ll be crappy but you finished your work by the deadline so spending the company money for a service like that seems worth it

Welp the wake up call already pushed me to linux, finally

I mean there’s so many different fridges you can buy but I’ve only heard of two dying. One was a compressor issue but that’s all I know about it. The other one was a valve or something went bad but with the help of youtube my brother was able to diagnose it and replace the part. Apparently that’s the most common failed part on at least that brand of fridges

Contact them and ask them to update their bandcamp, if they are small they might reply to you and it should be pretty easy for them to do.

My friend is a musician hobbyist and had his music on spotify so I asked him to setup a band camp and he did it right away. After that I was able to buy his music and add it to my plex. I even updated thr music musicbrainz with his music info so plex could show it correctly

That’s the point, make wi does 10 worse so people will update

BBB helped me get a refund from Adobe after they restarted my Adobe contract without warning at non student pricing, and when I asked for them to cancel it they would charge me a full year as cancelation fee, so I complained on the bbb site and bam every thing got reversed

When a gang member asks if you bang, now you know what they mean

Who let the dogs out amiright

Or a file that zips to the same size

I tried sourcing my own music but man it’s a lot harder than movies and shows. Especially when you like to hear random recommended music how do you get enough

I’ve just found out about kitra right now but from the site it says it’s mostly focused are drawing and stuff like that so would photo editing be netter with something like rawtherapee?

Oh that’s perfect thank you!
