Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    VMWare workstation is now free for Linux!!!!

    Oh? That's pretty cool.

    Just run windows 10 LTSB!

    Ew, no. I will never do that. I was completely joking about Adobe and expecting links to the GIMP repo lol.

    LOL, I was thinking you were serious and I started finding more guides and script to install Photoshop on Linux after replying to you. I was ready for your reply like "Can you give me more info about script? Or I want to install a *arrr version?".

    Haha. Well I appreciate that you and others are so willing to help! The old "get lost and RTFM" stereotype is really feeling antiquated here.

    I mean, nothing beats the Adobe suite for doing creative stuff. I really wish they offered CC on Linux.

    Yeah... GIMP is a joke compared to Photoshop, just find a copy of CS6 😉

    Oh I won't dispute that. I have a close friend in the graphics and video field where Adobe CC is indispensable.

    But that's not what I do. For anything I need to edit, GIMP and Pixlr are more than sufficient.

    My joke was that in the old days of tech forums, I feel like there was almost a kneejerk reaction among the GNU/Linux diehards to ditch closed source at any cost, and if you didn't you weren't worth their time or compassion (like the sharks in the comic here).

    Also, I'm not sure the comparison is entirely fair because I kinda doubt the budget and manpower behind GIMP are even in the same galaxy as Photoshop.

    [–] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

    Yeah, I really wanted to like GIMP. I'm a huge Debian / Ubuntu fan and love OSX as well. Like for dev work, Linux is amazing, best tool for that job hands down.

    I might try DaVinci resolve, cause running Premiere in a VM, I don't think will work well.

    And yeah, the Linux community can be super elitist unfortunately, nerds that gatekeep their niche...

    Like, when did a operating system become a core personality trait? Folks treat it like a sports team. 🤔

    I get flack for liking Ubuntu and Mac 😑
