There's plenty of laptops with 2 separate graphics cards (mine included) and I'd say it's the ideal experience if you need an NVIDIA card. Everything related to your system is done in the integrated Intel/AMD GPU (which works perfectly) and games and GPU intensive work (like CUDA) gets done in the NVIDIA one.

I can understand it, I almost paid for Davinci Resolve Studio due to it still being the most complete video editor that works on Linux, most of the time closed source apps function better (specially due to the biggest funding), but still, using open source whenever you can basically prevents this from ever happening (specially after Canva bought Affinity, I'd keep an eye out for the eventual enshittification)

I can totally recommend it, during the time I worked with design it was the closest I could get to photoshop when it comes to features and workflow, even more than GIMP, it's awesome!

And it's a huge downside. Meanwhile open source apps are usually available on every platform, with no purchase required.

This. Right here.

The main reason we need to push for open source alternatives is this. The more people learn how to use them the more content around them we get and more people take interest in using it and helping develop it (and donate to it).

even better, use the money you'd pay for adobe suite and donate to open source alternatives

Fortunately that's what the GNOME Foundation is going for, having people dedicated to applying for grants and other programs. Hopefully there's greater adoption by big companies and governments!

Yeah, Papers doesn't have a stable release yet since they are still doing big design changes, but you can get it through the GNOME Nightly repo. I've been using it for quite a while now!

if they can manage for Asahi Linux to take advantage of the GPU

Umm, it already does for quite a while now (at least for regular usage). The work they're currently doing will enable people to play games and other GPU-intensive work.

Easy to imagine when you understand that this is developed to support hardware that is widely popular and that will be sold by a lot less in the second-hand market in a couple of years, and that this makes far easier for people that are currently stuck in this walled garden to experiment with free software.

I'd recommend reading a bit more into the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines, your work already looks really good, and it'll likely get even better with their insight.

Don't worry, this article is mainly to clear some misunderstanding about libadwaita anyway, having questions about it is natural

Will an app dependent on libadwaita that be usable on linux without gnome? Like xfce, or xmonad?

of course it will, that's not the point, the point is to make apps that use libadwaita look consistent even in platforms outside of GNOME

Neither.

Hopefully.

yeah, proton vpn is the same, this guide is what made it finally work for me personally

You really overestimate how many people use an ad blocker. I wish it was that many.

Oh, you mean FF for Android? Yeah, on that front it really needs a ton of work. On the desktop side things are pretty much fast to a point where in real world use the difference is minimal.

Good luck convincing people to switch to it based only on "it loads pages faster than Chrome" though. It's a good goal to have, but getting tunnel-visioned on it when their current speed in real world use is pretty comparable is definitely not a good long-term plan.
