I’m one of the few people that use my headphone jack with Grado headphones and have had Motorola phones so I can listen to music the way I want.
Don’t even get me started on the light green bubble shit.
Fuck Apple.
I’ve made a few contributions to the Linux Mint team and it’s free. It has saved a few machines from the e-waste landfills and I have it on my laptop right now. It’s super reliable and just works so the devs deserve the extra help.
Exactly.
And when parts become available at my local auto parts store. One of my friends had a Model 3 and it took 1 MONTH to replace a broken passenger door mirror. It also took 3 WEEKS to fix a power seat issue. The same car had multiple growing pain issues that took way too much time to fix.
They were thrilled to trade it in on a new Camry so they could have a functioning car again.
Thank you for the information! I haven’t run any other distribution in a few years so I forgot the KDE details.
After their fallout with Pantone, I was done.
I immediately switched to Affinity and haven’t looked back. Yes, there is a learning curve and you will have to spend a few hours Googling how to do the same thing but it’s easily been able to do the same thing that I was doing before.
The ONLY two features I miss from InDesign is GREP and scripts. Other than that, FUCK ADOBE.
Fun fact. I have hopped around many other distros from Ubuntu to KDE to PopOS and a few dozen others but came back to Mint. It’s rock solid reliable, easy to get work done, easy to customize to your liking, and easy to update. I’ve been using it reliably over the last 5 years and don’t see myself changing any time soon.
With this subscription, the year of the Linux desktop will finally be here.
Except CMYK 😔
Hopefully next year
Except Adobe 😞
RELIABLY
What about Notepad? I use it for the same quick notes
We have the basic Peacock plan and still watch ads 😔
Graphic designer here. I’ve used their shitty consumer grade laser and inkjet printers with USB and they have had many problems. I HATE their wide format inkjet printers with a passion… They work great for a few dozen prints and then decide to have random problems that take a few hours to fix.
Their inkjet Indigo digital presses… are freaking amazing. The color they produce is far better than any laser digital press I’ve seen. They required a trained operator and is MUCH more expensive than the shitty consumer level stuff but they last forever when easily maintained.
Would it be better if I said that I’m currently running LMDE? :)
Fun fact: I’ve been using Mint on my home computer for over a decade. I’ve distro hopped a little bit but Mint is just rock solid reliable. It’s almost perfect.
Exactly! I have tried 40%(which is utter hell on earth), 60%, and TKL and it never lasts more than a day where I get so frustrated at the lack of numpad and calculation keys.
The keyboard I brought to work is a Royal Kludge RK920 with reds(nothing special) because no one here likes hearing blues.
After the Pantone fallout last year, I cancelled my Adobe subscription and bought Serif Affinity’s apps and haven’t looked back. Yes, there are a few work arounds and even almost a year in, I’m still looking up the occasional tool/feature that is comparable but I have saved $55/month. The ONLY features I miss are GREP and Scripts in InDesign but I have lived without them.
Logitech G600. Yes, it’s wired and a bit old but it is EXTREMELY reliable, easy to program, and VERY comfortable. It’s so good that I have 5 of them; 1 that I’m using and 4 to replace it with when this one dies.
I’ve used Mint for close to 6 years on various desktops and laptops and it’s rock solid reliable. My main computer runs LMDE 6 without any issues.
