The greatest Linux weakness shows itself again.

No you make good points. I suppose I’m a bit delusional when it comes to still having a sliver of belief in people and systems.

Because all the things you mentioned are par for the course and easily digestible by common folks. Actual “cheating” at the polls would do a lot more damage to the country than just Trump being caught being a felon again.

The problem is is that Trump cheating is more than plausible. You’re right that real evidence is absolutely required.

Except for Trump letting slip that without musk and those voting machines he would have lost and during the Twitter fight between the 2 musk said Trump wouldn’t be president without him.

Please. If you really think the US Russia connection is new then you really haven’t been paying attention.

Shinra at Corel vibes.

Smarty pants!

Why? I thought it was a pretty reasonable reply.

How redundantly redundant of him.

2 years is a long time. Driver issues are few and far between these days. Multi monitor support has greatly improved as well. I can’t help you with your software requirements if you’re stuck using proprietary programs like Photoshop. I can tell you that as a professional graphic designer and illustrator the alternatives to “industry standard” software are powerful and arguably better (Inkscape) on the Linux side. It does take time and effort to retrain years of shortcuts and workflow experience, but it’s definitely doable.

Maybe one day when you’re feeling adventurous give Linux another shot. I know for a lot of people the ethics of open source vs closed aren’t really important, but it’s still fun to see what else is out there.

I’m not sure I understand the question. Pipewire is the audio server, replacing Pulse. It does have frontends that allow routing from different devices, channels, software etc and distributions that are using Pipewire now have interface elements that allow you to control application use of audio devices. I’m not sure I answered your question at all lol.

Ah I see. Pipewire has made audio production a lot easier with far fewer latency issues. I know the FL Studio crowd is pretty diehard, but if you’re ever feeling adventurous there’s a lot more in the audio space now. I personally use Reaper to record my guitar through my Audient interface and have no issues. I’m not much of a beats and loops guy though so YMMV.

Another vote for Hollow Knight. Amazing game.

What can’t you do on Linux that keeps you on Windows or Mac?

Hey, look in the bright side… He’ll be dead soon.

Rad music. Reminds me of Earthbound battle music.

Pfft Linux is too mainstream… I run BeOS and OS/2 Warp.

Not caring is why these corporations have the power they do.

Laws only work when you follow them and there are actual consequences.
