None, still waiting for third party stores.

That's a trend I was hoping the EU would start. Come on nations, jump on the bandwagon!

It looks like a chicken and egg problem: you don't have commercial software available on Linux so people won't use it, so you don't have enough user base to justify the development of Linux versions. This won't be solved unless a big company like Valve decides that Linux is the way and start solving basic issues like usability and installation of apps.

Yes, I am being a jerk because GIMP gets routinely thrown around as a Photoshop alternative,which is not. You say I cherry picked a user base, but who are the people that actually pays to use Adobe Cloud? I assure you that they are mostly professionals, because the subscription is expensive.

Now, the "many people" don't need Photoshop. In fact, there's no reason they should even install it. But people say "Photoshop" and hear "GIMP" as alternative, and this should stop because the app is objectively bad. There's Krita, there's Photopea, there's Darkroom, there's myPaint, there's even Inkscape. Anything is light years ahead that thing, yet it's recommended again and again like a sad joke made to inflict pain on its users.

GIMP is not a good tool. Stop using, stop recommending it.

You know what's funny? I dream of a form factor like the Nintendo Switch: fully plastic, even the screen, so I could put a high quality glass screen protector like the one I have on the console. The thing is a tank, surviving many falls without a single damage, and I had to swap the protector once in all these years I have it.

I dont know, I'm pretty happy with my S22 running OneUI 6.1 and it feels really fast. Also, the native apps like Health, Notes, Mail and Calendar are really good, and I don't use Browser because it doesn't have a desktop app to share bookmarks like Firefox.

Thank you

Yeah, say that to professionals whose workflow rely on the thight integration and features of Adobe's software. I'm sure migration to a piece of crap software with a S&M name that can't even do CMYK will work great.

Affinity is a good alternative still, at least until Canvas implement the subscription model (which I still believe they will do).

Ooohhh... I see, my bad. But a little disclosure would help...

Yeah, of course not. Oh, wait...

That's the thing, nobody cares. Its even better to be centralised because there's someone you can sue for damages if that's the case.

Thats not fair, since everyone says the main app suck and you'll have a better experience with Moshidon. This is true if you're already there, but the comment makes it clear that it still lacks for newbies.

People talking about pixelfed are missing a key point: Cara is super easy to find and join. You go, type your email or login with your google account and that's it. You don't even have to remember a password. Nobody wants to find a server, apply to join, hope to get accepted, then somehow find all other artists like you.

Also, it looks good. Like, really good. That's a thing that grab the attention of artists.

This also smells like "we're shrinking our catalog and dont want you to notice it, so algorithm!"

Oh my fucking god nobody cares. Call me when you finally can install apps outside that stupid store like any other normal computer, phone or not.

Well, the main thing from Brad is reviewing tech for artists and showing how the product is used, so video makes sense. Videos like this are not that usual.

Nope, I used to pay for Tidal and I liked that app but it has no Wear OS app. They do have one for Apple Watch but I dont like Apple much.

Are there any other music service that has a decent Wear OS app? Spotify allows me to download and listen to my music offline, and the app is not too bad.

Sure, no problem. People get agitaded because it gets recommended over and over again, and gimp is a piece of software that does not deserve this kind of recognition, at all. It should either be completely revamped and get a new name, or completely forgotten in favor of better alternatives like Krita.

Oh,you want arguments? I'll give you arguments:

• prehistoric interface.
• the stupid thing don't have CMYK mode, the most basic thing needed if you work with graphics.
• lack of adjusting layers a.k.a. non-destructive editing.
• It will lock up and lose your work for apparently no reason. I lost a graphic due to a crash because I made the incredibly challenging action of changing a font. It also cannot handle big files at all.
• It's so. Fucking. Slow.
• That stupid, infantile, childish, emotionally stunted name.

There's more but I'm not in the mood of reliving the time I had with this turd.

"Oh but they have X features on the roadmap". Yeah, and today is the year of Linux on desktop. I don't care. I need a functional software now, not in some undisclosed future.
