same here, same time period. everything works. one have to be aware there’s no adobe or autodesk and linux is not windows same as osx is not, and it will not look or behave as windows. beside specific issues for some users, for me it works flawlessly.
one thing cannot grasp is willingness of so many to dual boot.
so you have to decide: you want websites inside their own window with a nice icon, or you want to get ridd of ads.
if the first is imperative to you, the choice is simple. watch ads.
it would be cool if Brian S reads this now and PM you after all these years.
several years ago main road on my way to work was closed for a month. alternative routes was bad and worse, so i reluctantly ditched car and tried cycling instead because cycling route was okay, hoping i will somehow handle that one month.
quickly realized i’m rather enjoying cycling, month passed and i didn’t event thought about getting back in a car. i’m cycling ever since. commuting to and from work, cycling recreatively, doing 100km rides all around the area and the country, joined a club, enjoying every bit of cycling which makes me happy.
the road maintenance overall changed me, led me to find something that fullfills me, breaks down the stress, make me happy, change my mindset and made me be more active.
speaking of old times, wasn’t winamp’s genre dropdown menu had ‘primus’ sticking among all other genres, suggesting how special primus are?
fuck, this is accurate. i recognized myself in everything you wrote. (age 50ies)
yes. being on fedora for last five years, no complaints whatsoever, but i did ditch the nvidia for amd to spare myself the neverending story of nvidia and linux.
feel the pain of work environment where you cannot add any addons.
the most clicked No Thanks button in my environement.
I can totally feel that sudden clot in the gut the moment you realize on which drive the action is happening, just by reading this.
commodore 64 with tape drive. later i got 5.25 floppy drive for it, which was the size of C64 itself.
then amiga, which i sold later to get money for my first intel/dos based pc (486dx2), but i regret selling that amiga to this day.
Dimebag Darrell.
thanks, ordered!
i welcome merging two triple-dot menus into one, according to screenshots.
card almost exclusively. local bakery or similar small shops doesnt work with cards and only do cash, so sometimes i have to work that way, but otherwise its card only.
habit and practice. op himself said he believes gimp can do wonders, but he’s migrating from adobe and is accustomed to photoshop’s shortcuts, ui and workflow.
imho, people go wrong expecting same experience in different application. yes, gimp works very differently but when migrating, one should count on different ui and logic. afterall, ps also have learning curve in the start and none complains.
it’s similar to users migrating from windows to linux, expecting same windows ui and workflow, blaming linux bad.

some people just like to “know the secret meaning that you dont know but im gonna tell ya”. if youtu.be wouldn’t be on their likening, the .be domain could easily disclose as butt-eating or whatever two word combination would go along as “meaningful” to smear.
first thing i faced while distrohopping before i settle with fedora, is the instability of nvidia on linux.
it was short path to decision to spare myself of waiting for driver fixes, googling for driver statuses, waiting, posting questions, messing around, switching this and that in hope for better stability, getting frustrated in the end because wherever i search for fixes, there were posts about same problems with same subject: nvidia.
stable system throughout distro/kernel/driver/system updates is hugely more valuable than having GTX Ti 90000 inside my system and it was a very short bye bye.
since i ditched nvidia card and went for amd one, my system just works, it’s been years, I’ve never looked back and very honestly, i couldn’t care less about never ending stubborn struggle with nvidia.
