I know you’re trolling but I had to look it up:

So what are you using on the desktop and how long have you been using it? I’ve switched to Linux / open source software a year ago and especially learning programs (design / media tools in my case) was super painful for some time. But I had the motivation of not wanting to use an OS that tries to spy on me and getting away from a super shady monopolist (Adobe) as a motivator that kept me going. Sure there are still some things that get on my nerves but those exist in Microsoft’s (and Apple’s) and Adobe’s products as well.

I guess you have checked out Krita? I like it a lot.

Looks like https://apps.yunohost.org/catalog can hist both.

Ooops, yes, sorry, Eevee is Blender’s real time renderer (like a game engine) that fakes fakes a lot of stuff while Cycles is the classic “physics-based” renderer. I heard that it took under a minute to Render a frame which is absurd for movie quality. But it makes sense since the look is kinda stylized (only noticed in the cinema that characters are kinda cell shaded) but it still looks so good, the lightning, fog, water, bloom, dephth of field, wow. Was really worth it watching on the big screen. Story is a bit weird but loved the characters and their interactions.

Haha, whoops, I’ve been using Futo Keyboard for month, (it’s amazing!) not realizing that it’s sponsored by the same company that also gives money to Immich, nice!

Now this one I can get behind!

Just saw Flow at the cinema, I can’t believe they rendered this all in Eeevee, wth!

Yeah, I think it depends on how the distro decides to implement it, can’t remember now but I think e. g. in Fedora KDE you need to tick a box somewhere in Discover’s (KDE’s updater) settings (and then it’s Fedora’s own Flatpak repo?). In Bazzite which I’m using atm it’s Flatpaks all the way down anyway 😸

It’s also quite nice in KDE that you can do Flatpak permissions etc in System Settings.

It’s interesting and kinda cool that you can’t tell what distro it’s running on when using Flatpak. I would have thought that there’s some way to find out (it would be important for fixing bugs, I guess?)

Ah, yes, “Flatpak”, my favourite distro 😸

Have been on Walyand for a year now, no problems except for a weird big in Inscape so thst runs in X11 mode.

There’s also bs like this:

The browser is cool but Mozilla as a company is an absolute trainwreck of borked public communication (again and again and again) and bullshit products that noone asked for (Pocket, AI etc).

And not a single woman, if I’m not mistaken! And probably all white except for Miyazaki?
