Oh woaw that is… interesting

Wine/Proton’s magic

Are these tools being bought buy Adobe more recently ? That could be an explaination why, but that’s good to know thanks for sharing.

Adobe and Linux isn’t a thing unfortunately

Exactly, I started using it for that game!

I am using r2modman most of the time and it works well for the modded games I play on my machine. I uses Thunderstore so it might not have the biggest library of mods for all your titles but it’s worth mentioning imo.

Yeah I am pretty disapointed as I bought the GoG extension. I really liked the UX for my ChimeraOS and SteamDeck devices but it’s not worth a subscription in my opinion even at a discount…

Why using Suyu when there is objectively superior Yuzu forks such as Sudachi, Torzu or Eden (mainly from Citron’s team) ?

ZorinOS maybe ?

Bazzite is great for gaming !

Nobara too.

Bazzite still has experimental support for NVidia GPUs, you should use Nobara HTPC Nvidia ISO

I own a Lift and use it with my Mac Book, it’s great. I use it with bluetooth but it also has a USB dongle. I uses other wireless logitech mices on GNU/Linux and had no issue using the dongle. I will try to test my Lift on a Linux machine using the dongle and let you know because it would be weird if not working.

In my opinion OS is software, many people are working on it and I don’t think their work is worth 0$ (maybe Windows being the exception lol).

I was looking for such a thing for my ChimeraOS machine. I like the dev’s honesty about his skills and will maybe do some bug reporting !

I disagree with you however I find it attrocious than when you upgrade (exemple from ZorinOS 16 to 17) if you own a Pro licence you have to buy a new licence (with a discount) and can’t “downgrade” to non-Pro (except from reinstalling it from scratch). I think the way the Pro is sold shouldn’t put upgrade behind a paywall.

Selling a (bloated) Pro version to bring cash isn’t necesseraly cancer it really depend on what you get and how you’re treated. And with ZorinOS I was somewhat disapointed…

ZorinOS or the recent AnduinOS can be very Windows like with modernish windows sex appeal as you call it.

Edit: If a gamer you could add Nobara with its own theme or bazzite with KDE.

I already did haha

Looks like I’ve discovered a great source of news that I will follow. Good work thanks !

I agree with you. My dream is that every public school should use and contribute to FOSS and FOSH, but I’m an utopiste. Honestly I wish Serif would at least free some of its codebase but that’s very unlikely. I would like to have these proprietary software as I still rely on them for my workflow on a GNU/Linux machine rather than macOS and that sounds more reasonnable for a private company building private code and selling licences. Today it’s some of the few software that I can’t run on GNU/Linux to ditch a proprietary OS for work.

I have finally ditched Windows years ago after living my whole childhood in that proprietary crappy spyware environment and did tried many FOSS tools for professionnal work and I do use some (PenPot, blender, OBS, Thunderbird, VSCodium (and Zed a bit), LibreOffice, Nextcloud, UltimakerCura and Signal to name a few).

Unfortunately I still do rely on proprietary software (and these rely on proprietary OS) and yeah there is a reason for that : I need to get the work done. They have the money proprietary licence advantage over FOSS tools of course but hey a small part of the money I make thanks to these proprietary tools are sent to foss projects I want to support. It’s not as big as I wish and I don’t have enough time nor skills to contribute as much as I want to the Free World in general but I do my part and it has grown over the years.

I would prefer relying on proprietary solution on a free OS than relying on proprietary software that rely on proprietary OS. That’s why I signed this (probably useless) petition.

Yes that would be awesome, probably 1% would still be big.

I have been donating to FOSS project that I rely on (or sometimes project I find important) using free and open source payment method like Bitcoin (even sometime using the Lightning Network) or Monero for two years now. I wish more people that could afford it would do the same. Obviously I don’t donate as much as if I was paying for the full Adobe Creative Suite (which was included in my scholar fees) but I donated a few hundreds USD in total to various projects since 2023 and I won’t stop until I am cut from my income.

The closest Free(dom) alternative that I really see to make a change is PenPot but their Adobe counterpart (Xd) is discontinued. Still a great FOSS tool that I love to use despite some performance issue on big projects.
