    You’re telling me this free, volunteer-run feature full software isn’t almost as good as the multi-million dollar product from a multi-billion dollar company?

    If this dude can edit his videos and images on Linux so can you Mr Van Gogh. https://youtu.be/lm51xZHZI6g

      Yes, that’s what we’re saying. It’s fine though, I don’t expect developers to work miracles for free, they are doing an amazing job, but In the context of “Linux being ready” it’s important to recognize some honest truths.

      Users do not care about how hard the devs are working for free. If the software doesn’t have the features, it’s not ready.

      Really think about this. You’re saying two entirely contradictory things:

      1. Linux software is ready to compete with Windows

      2. Users cannot expect Linux software to have comparable features to Windows

      How will it compete without comparable features? Passion and morals aren’t valued over effectiveness by most users.

        GIMP’s engine is very good. It’s UI is cuntpuke.

        Somebody write a QT front end for Imagemagick and you’ll probably see Linux adoption jump.

      You’re describing the truth about Linux vs windows, except many Linux oses are better than anything ms makes.

        I think Windows could be a far better OS than Linux if Microsoft gave a single shit. Instead they want to add AI and recall and various invasive updates.

        The only thing windows has going is the market share.

          Could, true, but never has, never will. As long as it uses a janky non-standard kernel underneath, I’m gonna be hating on it.

            Yeah. it’s dogshit but they certainly have the capacity to improve. it’s clear where their priorities are: milk users for profit
