    I mean a lot of them are ok but it depends on what you are doing. Gimp can make memes but if you learned Adobe you are going to struggle.

    I think half of it is people doing want to learn something new and half of it is that the tools are behind

      Yeah but if you’re a graphic designers and you’ve to share PSD files with others for your job then you’re going to have a very hard time with Gimp.

        That may be a reason to run a dual boot with Windows and your special gfx or cad software that you earn your livelihood from.

        But for the other 75% of the time when not working, you have Linux.

            I have not had an issue in… 9 years? Though I use separate physical drives which might help. I wouldn’t let that scare people away

            Edit: I’m also using rEFInd Boot Manager. I have about 5 operating systems that I can boot into (good way to try various Linux distros)

            With EFI you can even install windows after Linux and it will not mess with your systemctl boot. Windows will only put its bootloader in the EFI partition and systemctlboot will continue working. My girlfriend made this and I lost my jaw.
