      Hard disagree. Adobe the company is awful but Photoshop, illustrator and Lightroom are useful. It is enraging the hoops you gotta jump through to sort-of use them on Linux.

        Its enraging the hoops you have to jump through to use them anywhere. Let it die already.

          Let it die? Windows is 10x more likely to die in the next decade and I’m not counting on that ever happening

            Yeah, probably. Adobe just sucks horribly. It needs to go away. There subscription practices are nearly criminal. And for what? It isn’t that great.

              Pirate that shit. Never ever give them a penny, I know I won’t after they started the subscription model, destroying my upgrade path. What is your frame of reference? I was trained in design and learned to use Photoshop, illustrator, InDesign, premiere, and after effects. These do not suck. They are industry standard for a reason.

              The business practices, bloat, and lack of cross platform support are shit but their functionality is actually pretty stellar. Alternatives exist but are kind of lacking in some ways. I don’t get it when people think the tools virtually every professional uses are dog shit…

                I have a background in graphics arts and design. But I don’t do that anymore, yet i am very familiar with the products.

                I am saying the corporate practices suck, the products are OK, but it isn’t worth it. I won’t pirate it because that justifys them existing. I simply won’t use them.

                And if they go away, other things will take their place.

                  They aren’t going away anytime soon. “It isn’t worth it” okay well if I can run them I will and it’s very much worth it if I can. Which I have been in a vm. Just sucks getting a performance hit.

                    There shouldn’t be a performance hit that you can notice in a VM.

                    But keeping them is like complaining about shooting yourself in the foot. Its still supporting them.

                    Just quit.

            Lol. That’s funny.

            I had no idea there was another AugustWest on Lemmy.

            Got a dime? A dime for a cup of coffee?

            Now I wish I had been more clever and chose AugustEast or something.

              Always nice to see some love for the Dead in the wild.

              AugustEast

              Man, I might have to steal that for future platforms.
