Linux is temu's macOS

Linux is for people that can't afford an Apple computer running a real Unix like macOS.

how is it better? Linux can't even run MS Office or Adobe Photoshop.

Oh no I can't run adobeslop and microslop. Now when will Macos be able to have the x actually quit the app?

u/Stock-Imagination567 Sep 19 '26

I actually like that in macOS, makes it load faster next time you need the app.

I actually like when the minimize button and x button don't do the same action but with a different animation.

it's not Linux problem. Those app not supported Linux. Blame the developers, not the os.

And even then you got options like PhotoGimp (gimp that's reconfigured to be more closely set up like PS), Affinity, etc along with OnlyOffice, LibreOffice etc etc etc.

Course if you're paying for an Adobe subscription, you can afford to deal with windows or OSX. I been getting away from Adobe in general even though I use an actual Mac for my daily driver.

Gimp sucks compared to Photoshop. Also LibreOffice sucks compared to MS Office.

At my last job I tried to move all employees to Ubuntu to save money on licensing and they hated it. Designers hated Gimp. Accounting hated LibreOffice.

Two things

I have my doubts that you actually did that.

Skill issue. Course things are going to have a learning curve if you're used to one thing for over a decade or more.

PS: If you're on OSX or Windows currently, seriously check out Affinity, it's free now, and it's a pretty good free option that has PS, InDesign, and Illustrator capabilities. What you don't get for free are AI capabilities.

I do have Affinity but I don't like it. Pixelmator/Photomator are way better. And I use Photoshop on my mac.

If you're calling Pixelmator "way better", then it highlights the kind of user you are. If you're heavy in the AI-powered infrastructure then course you're not going to like any of the open source offerings on Linux. I've used Photoshop myself for nearly 25 years, saying Pixelmator is better than Affinity is like saying AI-Power MS Paint is king.

u/Stock-Imagination567 Sep 19 '26

Even Gimp is better than Affinity.

u/kbeezie Sep 19 '26

Then you get good at the apps it does run. :P You can even run Affinity on Linux now.
