Cool!! I’ll bookmark this!

I use linux.

I personally don’t. I like the occasional updates about reddit.

I mostly use photoshop to remove objects from photos, place in images rendered with blender and retouch them to look like they were part of the photo, I think Darktabke doesn’t have tools similar to healing brush and patch tools in photoshop. Although photoshop is working perfectly so far, it would be nice to find a native application that is up to the task. I haven’t really tried hard to look for linux alternative that can do that.

EDIT:

Wait, I just looked into it and there are such tools! Thank you for suggestion! I might try it!

Wine was the first and only one I tried! I think it’s the most popular choice, haven’t really looked into others. Are there better options?

I didn’t even know about Affinity. Had to google. Their software looks really cool and capable, something I would actually buy if it ran on linux.

I decided to go with Da Vinci Resolve for video editing and I might migrate to something to replace Lightroom in future, can’t now, because I have all my Lightroom catalogues at work.

Ubuntu 23.04, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti and AMD Ryzen 5 4600H processor.

Da Vinci Resolve seemed to have everything I need, so that was my choice!

Yes! That’s what I picked!

I am on Ubuntu and I have an AMD processor.

Here are the steps:

If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven’t already):

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

Download and add the repository key:

sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

Select your Ubuntu version and download the WineHQ sources file:

For Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster):

sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/lunar/winehq-lunar.sources

Install one of the following packages:

Stable branch:

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

I also changed wine to windows 10 compatability mode with a command which opens a window where I selected the option:

winecfg

Then I just ran adobe installers with Wine by double clicking them and installed everything with no problem except After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Lightroom: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=12022938

Illustrator: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=12021637

I haven’t tested fully, but everything seemed to work when I was poking around.

That’s handy! Thanks. As for photoshop though, I use it daily at work and I rely on specific tools that I couldn’t find on any other software out there.

I carry around multiple iPod shuffles with different playlists/albums on each.

Same! You’re right!

Thanks!

I tried Django at the beginning, it is very nice and I will most likely use it if I need to build a professional website, I wanted to understand and learn better how it all works and for my personal not serious website it was a perfect opportunity, so I started messing around and testing without a framework. Coding my own back-end is very fun for me and I’m learning a ton this way. Currently I am making an authentication system where if a client is not authenticated, it will get redirected to a login page where a code is displayed and a user has to send that code to my server’s whatsapp. Once the server validates the matching code from whatsapp, it will authorise the client and redirect back to the original requested page. This system will be perfect for me and my friends to access my website!

Yes! Coding it is a blast! I started it just to better understand how all the HTTP communications work and I love customising my own personalised back-end, implementing new features and improving. I’m so hooked I can’t even sleep at nights, thinking about it.

Python of course! I am using hypercorn ASGI server, it supports HTTPS/3.

I’m building a back-end for my website without a framework.
