    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.

      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 😑
