  • The only way to use Adobe products on Linux are the web apps (which are limited) or in a windows virtual machine (slow) or by dual booting into windows (annoying).

    You can run really old versions of Photoshop via Wine. But if your needs are that simple, you can probably just use Photopea.

    For my use case of Lightroom for accessing and editing final photos across my computer and phone, and occasional photoshop use (mostly for printing) I am able to get by with the web apps, and windows virtual machine.

    I would love to drop adobe. But the Lightroom Mobile cloud storage sync feature is too invaluable to me right now and there is no other option that comes close to that feature.

    I don’t think there is anything wrong with having strong brand preferences based on reputation and personal experience. The issue is when people become fanboys.

    The worst one IMHO is YETI coolers. Sure their stuff is well made but the prices are obscene, and there are loads of absolute tools who will buy everything they make and make a cooler brand their whole identity. $40 for a 5 gallon bucket? Come on.










  • Some people are smarter than others. Some people are so smart that they struggle to be interested in school unless it’s a challenge, and can simply skate by like your roommate.

    I certainly can’t say I am anywhere near that level, but I was smart enough to coast through a lot of subjects I was interested in without studying.

    I also learned from a young age that I could pass a multiple choice test on a subject I knew nothing about just by intuition, looking for context clues, and guessing. Ask me to write an essay on an unfamiliar subject, and I was screwed, though.
