Still better than windows.
Still better than windows.
Adobe Suite?
Affinity Suite?
Proton Drive?
Editing in Davinci? (free version of DaVinci Resolve on Linux cannot playback any H.264 or H.265 video, and the free and paid version cannot playback AAC audio on Linux…)
You know, anything productive?
Davinci Resolve
Use Kdenlive
Adobe
I don’t use them but according to winehq it somewhat runs well.
Affinity
Well yeah… I used Designer and Publisher extensively when I still used Windows. I asked and begged them to consider a linux version but they didn’t saw the marketplace. Guess we Linux users aren’t productive enough. So instead we have to resort to Inkscape and Krita.
Proton drive
Well fuck them for not considering making a filesystem driver for every OS. Especially THE OS most associated with servers and privacy minded users.
Perhaps migrate to a more open cloud provider like Nextcloud?
Kdenlive isn’t a replacement for Davinci or Premiere, sorry.
I rely on either Affinity Designer or Adobe Illustrator to run my business. Inkscape and Krita are not capable of professional work.
I pay for Proton, so I am not going to say fuck it because they, like most companies, don’t look at Linux Desktop as a real OS. Sorry.
don’t look at Linux Desktop as a real OS
Linux runs like 90% of the world’s servers. You can’t even get half of Microsoft’s shitty software on AWS. Not to mention that development outside of C# (even that’s a pain in the ass to deploy) is an exercise in BDSM.
But sure buddy, whatever you have to tell yourself to sleep at night. I’m sure you’re making 10x more money than the rest of us as a (checks notes) photo and video editor
Linux having dominate market share in the server market doesn’t mean anything when it comes to the desktop market. Proton isn’t making Drive for servers, it’s a consumer product.
I don’t know what the person you replied to does for a living, but a lot of people make a shit load of money using some of the software mentioned, not that it should matter either way.
People like you give Linux users a bad name. You’re either a troll or too dogmatic to have any common sense.
You’re either a troll or too dogmatic
Well, you know, for starters I don’t pull up posts about Windows and go through the comments flinging shit like Polar did here. But sure, I’m the troll for telling the troll his way isn’t the only way.
Commercial app support has always been a weakness of the Linux desktop. That’s nothing new. The only thing really helping is Electron (for better or worse), but that isn’t ideal for media apps.
As much as I’d love to use the Gimp for all my photo needs, it’s not as good as Photoshop or Affinity Photo. I gave up even trying years ago. Can someone get the job done… sure. Can they do it faster and easier on an OS with more commercial app support, probably. That doesn’t mean Linux sucks, it just isn’t perfect for everything. This isn’t even a flaw with the OS, just its low market share and ethos have kept commercial apps away, which in turn hurts its ability to grow. It’s kind of a chicken and egg problem.
