I'm a Linux (opens in new tab)

I enjoyed this article. One question though: How do you survive without the Adobe Suite?

Gimp, Inkscape, Reaper, DaVinci Resolve, what else works on Linux to fill the void of Adobe?

(I hope to never give another cent to Adobe after how they treated me.)

GNOME is "well-designed"? Are you serious?

If it is so "well-designed" as you claim, why is it that we need several thirdparty extensions just to make it usable (No overview at start-up, AppIndicator, Dash-to-dock, Just Perfection etc)?

If it is so "well-designed", why is it that these said extensions then break with every new Gnome release, forcing developers to update them, whilst users suffer?

If it is so "well-designed", why does the design language include so much useless whitespace, enforcing a touch-friendly interface even on a device that doesn't have a touchscreen?

If it is so "well-designed", why are there no minimize and maximize buttons by default?

If is it so "well-designed", why is it such a pain to make and apply proper uniform themes across all Gnome apps, and in particular, why is it near-impossible to theme libadwaita apps?
