started using a Mac as my personal machine recently after exclusively using linux for 20 years and one of the most surprising things has been that the options for creative software (making vector graphics, fonts, etc) on Mac really are much better in many cases
feels like one of those things that everyone knows but I never really internalized
(do not lecture me about the options available on Linux, I promise I know)
@b0rk I would love recommendations. I'm having the trouble that the apps that I loved on Linux aren't great on Mac, and I haven't found good replacements.
Although Logic Pro is awesome for how cheap it is.
@danlyke Hah. I use both of those routinely on my Mac 😂
Acorn and Pixelmator are names I hear often as being highly regarded for image editing. Not sure about Inkscape, although… the Affinity stuff is at least buy-once, I believe.
@zellyn yeah, I use 'em, I just find 'em clunky relative to on a Linux machine (though recent versions of Inkscape have gotten better).
I realized, I'd also *love* to have Claws Mail on the Mac.
And if I could figure out how to make Logic Pro do the noise reduction stuff that Audacity does so easily, I'd be *super* happy, because Logic Pro is, alone, reason to have a Mac.
