Can I interest you in Linux?

[–] EherVielleicht@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am already interested. My next laptop will b a Linux.

Are you aware that you can already dual-boot it? So you can install it parallel to your Windows install and use both

Another cool thing is Ventoy. Install it to a thumb drive with a bunch of different distro ISOs, and you try out all kinds of flavors of Linux with installing them.

The easiest way offers Q4OS (Debian base), it has an Windows installer, you can install and desinstall it like an normal programm, it get rid of the system and you can use it along with Windows or in Dual Boot.

Linux has my interest when I don't have to jump through 50 hoops to use something as basic as the Paint.net program.

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What do you do that you need paint.net specifically?

Genuine question, it's been a long time since I've used it, so I'm not very up to date on what it can do

Pixel art and spritesheets! It's just the tool I have years of experience with and feel the most comfortable with. I tried to switch to other similar tools, however the mild difference in processes causes me to honestly be unable to adapt.

In theory I could use a different program. In practice my brain just goes "me no likey" and my creative energy dies.

Oh, I feel you on that one. When my goblin brain doesn't want to cooperate, it doesn't want to cooperate, not much I can do about that.

 sudo apt install krita

One hoop

Oh look, a "solution" that doesn't fit the problem description.

If Sheeple wanted an alternative, they would have asked for one.
