Yeah, the rust circle jerk is hard here... I'll be over here getting work done with my hated OS and my hated programming language. Living life on hard mode, man, I just wanna relax. π΅
Adobes software, nice, works well together, made tons of great content with the suite. Not a fan of subscription services, but it's ok I guess for the Adobe suite as renting a toolbox.
Quark however, was a total dumpster fire when I used it a few years ago. Crashed constantly.
I self host stuff that I feel the need to. But TBH, you don't really need to self host much, outside of media collections. PhotoPrism and JellyFin are about the only two I need, aside from a PiHole. Most folks would be fine with a beefy NAS.
Computers are tools to get stuff done. It's ok to be a big FOSS advocate, but when you put your need to be a absolutist over practicality, you really lost the real world use of things.
Building communities and stuff that bring value to users is what really matters at the end of the day. Too many folks in the FOSS world like to stand on soap boxes.
My time is valuable, if I can have someone else run a service, then that's time I can spend doing things I enjoy.
Self host when it makes sense, either from a cost perspective or a data privacy perspective. Everything is a balance.
Nothing will ever be as convenient as letting someone else handle your infrastructure headaches. You don't win by complaining, you win by providing a better user value.
It's why Steam beats Torrents and Torrents are coming back over streaming. My time is precious man.
LTSB or LTSR I forget which.
Toss some classic shell in there, boom, Win 10 like you remember Win 7 was like. Too bad they fucked up 11 so bad I switched to Ubuntu.
100% all of this
OSX for work, Ubuntu at home for side projects and gaming.
