So, I did five production level projects with affinity 2 running on my #t480 over wine using fedora 43.

Designer and Photo do run without crashes (I didn't had any). But there are sometimes gliches and some actions – like applying a mask on a layer group – might take half a minute.

My conclusion is that this setup is sadly not reliable enough to do things professionally with it.

While I’m down the QR code rabbit hole, here is another one.

Cover any corners to make the decoder latch onto the others.

Yep. And it’s kind of the reason I want to have as few dependencies as possible in software I write.

I had the PS3 controllers laying around the other day and tried painting them just for fun with the #thinkpad #t480 . Turns out it‘s a no brainer and works out of the box like you do on the PS3.

Now I need a nice little game to play. Any ideas for a fun little adventure or racing game?

....okay one more.

This one hurts my soul but still makes me laugh.

The business model of Tinder etc. isn't to find you the love of your life, it's to keep you on their site, making you pay for as long as possible.

The business model of Big AI isn't to solve your problems with the least amount of tokens. It is to keep you close enough to *think* you might soon have the solution while you keep on spending more and more tokens.

Both (and many other services) make their money based on hope, not on results. That's my opinion.

Quick mirror of my article on my other server: https://www.peppercarrot.com/extras/html/2026-05-23_KDE-Neon-for-digital-painter-guide_mirror/ because my blog is in a overload situation, too many visitors, I hope it helps!

Today someone (who is not on Mastodon) released a collection of more than 570 distinct operating systems, pre-installed with VM configurations for the 250+ different platforms, going back all the way to 1948.

Now, I have to admit I'm posting this without trying it myself, as I'm running low on disk space on this machine.

Because the full download is 121GB (174GB unzipped!). There is also a lighter version at 14GB that will download stuff on demand.
