Glad I made the switch back to FireFox a year or two ago. As a Dev, I was entrenched in Chrome and it wasn't an easy move but with the path Google are currently treading around ad serving, blocking the ad blocks etc. I feel I made the right choice.....

They are good times indeed.... Good times.....

Caught by the Jaffa's

I have converted over to Linux for a huge portion of my work flow but there is still the 20% I either can't efficiently replicate or there is just not the software I need.

Where possible I choose to work outside of Microsoft, Google and Apple but to keep a roof over one's head, I must endure too.

Yes..... Melted on anything.......

Literally have not been back since I decided to leave before the blackout.

Considering incised to spen hours a day s rolling that place, I haven't missed it and just moved on. 12years or more I was a regular contributor and viewer and quit cold turkey style :)

I haven't tried that, will definitely give it a look.... Thanks for the suggestion ! Much appreciated;)

This hits the nail on the head.... I can get by with GIMP or InkScape or Photopea but they don't quite cut it when I have job going out worth a few grand I want all the tools, checks peace of mind of the locally installed app. I also find GIMP convoluted to achieve basic tasks. Even things like resizing images to canvas etc. Feels clunky by comparison to say Affinity Photo.

Either way, I can never get 100% away from the big boys as ultimately I have to test natively in Windows and Mac OS so it's not the end of the World having to boot into Windows or Mac OS occassionally to undertake the tasks required :)

Hi there, yea I have tried it and kudos to the developer it's an awesome piece of kit.

Unfortunately, for me at least it's just not the same as running native Affinity Suite (which is my go to). We occassionally produce print work for clients as well as developing UX templates and I can't seem to replicate my workflow in Photopea or any of the other available apps. I wish Affinity would produce a Linux version but when asked, they said the uptake just wasn't there to make it worth their while :(

I'm really pleased I have managed to move the bulk of my work over to Mint and ultimately, I will always be left having to test applications natively in Windows and Mac OS so it's not the end of the World I suppose as I can't ever fully get away from them.

I'm currently using Libre Office and It honestly covers the full gamut for me. I haven't once felt "man, where's that option".

It's really solid and come a long way since I first used it !

I technically started with Steam Deck and finally took the plunge of partitioning my daily driver to install Linux Mint back a few weeks ago.

No regrets....

I'm a developer (web app predominantly ) and find I can use it for about 80% - 85% of my daily workflow. Things I miss and can't substitute are mainly around image editing / vector editing where GIMP and InkScape are just not there for the way I work.

Loving my time with it and would highly recommend anyone on the fence take the dive and give Mint a go. It's incredibly familiar the moment you boot it :)

Kudos...... It's very much appreciated and a refreshing change to not be let down by something you enjoy online.

Good old Google, never, ever fails to fucking disappoint !
