@ICM @Liam :fnord: Awesome setup

@dallo @Taggart :ifin: Bottles is a Wine environment for running Windows apps that ships as a Flatpak. I recommend it.

As far as potential Linux users who prioritize Adobe. I recommend they use a secondary machine and see how they get along. I don't think "modern" Adobe -- the subscription kind -- will be a successful path. If it's just Photoshop, you can get old versions going, but I think exploring native apps (and web apps) is a better path.

I don't do as much photo editing in apps as I used to -- I do most of it in WordPress these days, but my go-to is still gThumb with GIMP or Krita when needed.

If it's Adobe Premiere or nothing, be prepared for a bad time.

I'd say that successful Linux adopters are flexible about new workflows.

@Ada 🏳️‍⚧️🌘 I wish there were more live systems with persistence (the ability to save your session without needing to install), and I'd love to learn of any new ones.

One that I do know about is Puppy Linux, and its creator's current distro EasyOS.

You can run both from USB drives and get a sampling of what Linux has to offer.

@Josh Grosse What model of grinder is this?

@Root Moose @Chad McCullough @Joomla! Was going to suggest a WP fork. This looks very good.

@passthejoe I mean, who's buying new laptops in this AI hellscape?

@Niklas Pivic I read this review and bought @Cory Doctorow's book, The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI and one other (Enshittifcation), and am reading now.
