Seriously, use Linux. What is the problem?

[–] kazerniel@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (15 children)

my main problems are the lack of support for Adobe programs and several online games

Edit: I guess a more accurate phrasing would have been "lack of support from..."

Go to https://www.goeuropean.org/#products-list and try to enter the Adobe search word. :) Could it be an alternative for you?

Sadly nothing for Adobe InDesign, which is like 2/3 of my workflow :( (Also I don't see an option to filter to Linux programs on that site.)

I spent half hour searching on alternativeto.net just now, but for the 3 Adobe programs I use (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) all FLOSS Linux options seem to be lacking essential features. Based on comments, even in more popular alternatives, features like PDF exporting or CMYK colour handling require workarounds or additional external programs.

(Re. searching only for FLOSS: I'm not opposed to paying for software, but when I enabled that option on alternativeto.net, a lot of results were subscription-based, which I do strongly oppose :/ )

It is how it is. :) Stay with what works for you.
