Endeavour has basically all the pros of Arch without the challenges. Most times I just want to do some gaming with minimal fuss so for me it’s perfect. I can still tinker when I want to.

I think they’ve standardized on KDE Plasma and Wayland (though I still recommend X11 for stability) as the default but last I knew they offered current builds for almost every DE, which again just saves hassle if you prefer another.

I used Manjaro previously but it seemed too disconnected from Arch / the AUR, so it felt like a crapshoot on whether certain package versions would work or whether the Arch wiki was relevant.

EndeavourOS, best one I’ve used yet.

Oh I won’t dispute that. I have a close friend in the graphics and video field where Adobe CC is indispensable.

But that’s not what I do. For anything I need to edit, GIMP and Pixlr are more than sufficient.

My joke was that in the old days of tech forums, I feel like there was almost a kneejerk reaction among the GNU/Linux diehards to ditch closed source at any cost, and if you didn’t you weren’t worth their time or compassion (like the sharks in the comic here).

Also, I’m not sure the comparison is entirely fair because I kinda doubt the budget and manpower behind GIMP are even in the same galaxy as Photoshop.

Haha. Well I appreciate that you and others are so willing to help! The old “get lost and RTFM” stereotype is really feeling antiquated here.

I already run Endeavour and don’t actually need any proprietary Adobe software, but thanks :)

VMWare workstation is now free for Linux!!!

Oh? That’s pretty cool.

Just run windows 10 LTSB!

Ew, no. I will never do that. I was completely joking about Adobe and expecting links to the GIMP repo lol.

I love that this comic is already a meme.

BTW which distro is best for running Adobe??? I really need Photoshop on my laptop. EDIT: /s, and also I guess the joke doesn’t actually work here lol

Pixlr-E is in that same category.

Yep this seems even more blurry and pixelated than the last 3 times I saw it haha

I imagine people resharing memes (long before OP here) take a photo of their monitor with a potato phone and then reupload that after resizing it with some shitty Motorola app or whatever first. Do that 3-4x and soon it’s a mess.

I prefer to put my swap partition on CD-RW.

I believe that resolves the same as

ain’t!(!untrue)

It works better in other languages.

e.g. Es ist frei, nicht kostenlos.
