I hope you're wrong. As someone on GrapheneOS, that would suck. By that time, I hope other Linux mobile options are more mature.
Considering I know many artists that use it as first choice, I know you're wrong.
It's good software, you just don't like it.
I think time can get out of sync. Privacy wise, it's pretty good for proprietary: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/garmin-forerunner-series/
Not open source of course, so it is something to weigh up.
That is true, but to get free software made by people in their free time and say "this is rubbish" is a little ungrateful.
"Here, have this free food...". " ewww gross, that is so bad".
Yup, it was a cross post. I didn't write that bit. :)
Fair points. I like your extended metaphors :). Go for it, you won't regret it. Try to just experience it, focus on what it is, and not what it isn't and you might you find yourself falling for it.
UI is very opinionated and sometimes you notice the differences at the start, but as you use it, you realise you could love it more :). I've found this with a few things (Matrix, Libre Office, GrapheneOS). I haven't discovered this with FF as i've been in a relationship with it for over a decade now :). I occasionally dabble in chrome stuff, but it the way they hate people that use more than 10 tabs is something I cannot handle.
You're doing a great job and if more did what you did, they wouldn't have to rely on search revenues. They know most users switch search engines. Those defaults are what fund browser development. Firefox are not in the search engine market, and if they took that sacrifice, they'd go bust and wouldn't be in the browser market either. It sucks, and it isn't glamorous, but it is the only way they can financially compete in the browser market at all. Browsers are complex and millions of lines of code and only getting more complex. It is far from cheap.
I'm involved in open source software, and of the artists I'm aware of, most use GIMP, not Krita, because it has better features. Krita is a great option, but it doesn't quite have the same features for producing quality art.
Tenacity, not audacity. Audacity got took over by a company with questionable record and tried to add telemetry into it. Tenacity was the OS fork which stayed true to principles.
GIMP may not be your bag, but it's highly used and many find it has much higher quality features than the alternatives. UI may not be popular, but it doesn't prevent it being a solid bit of open source software.
Btw, what steps have you taken to improve open source graphics software? It's easy to bash, it's harder to learn and contribute.
Open source contributors > open source advocates > grateful open source users > almost everyone else > open source critics
While it may be possible, the more requirements make it harder to meet.
When you move from one relationship to another, you don't expect your new partner to be exactly like the old one. You accept and learn to love the differences.
Stat page and tab size are very particular deal breakers. Are they really key? I prefer FF tabs to Chrome as I can see what I'm clicking on and not accidentally close it. I don't stay on home page long enough to notice. My old tabs open at start up.
How about Garmin?
Their Smartwatches are recommenced in Mozilla's Privacy Not Included. I cannot imagine their sat navs have an issue. Especially older models.
Blender is for models, not art. It's different software. It's great at what it does. Expecting that because one open source project can beat proprietary then all can is a pretty shallow view. A project relies on volunteers, sacrifice and funding.
You're saying it's bad because no one you know uses it doesn't suggest no-one uses it, just you don't know the users of it. Maybe your circle is as open minded to software as you are. Similar people surround themselves with each other. It says more about you than the software.
