    I’m scared. I dual-boot windows just for some very specific school assignments. I don’t want it to do any updating, just stay on windows 10 and leave me alone. God I want to purge this shit from my laptop. (only reason that it is not a vm is for performance)

      Well, hopefully school assignments will be long done by the time anyone has to worry about Lose11.

    Life’s always been better without Windows.

    Dear god I wish I could get off windows. The last thing keeping me is photo editing. I tried gimp but it just does not compete (speaking of witch, open source Flickr/500px clone when?). I am looking for anything, even closed source, that works on Linux and can rival Photoshop/affinity photo.

    edit: I get people like me are frustrating, it’s always the next thing, but I truly think I can reluctantly deal with inkscape and make the switch if I find something

      Maybe check out Krita.

      Although what’s wrong with GIMP? It might not be pretty, but I thought it was pretty feature-full.

        Nothing wrong with GIMP by itself, but when compared to Photoshop, it is not really the same. Photoshop’s tools have a “works like magic” feel to them, its hard to describe. Gimp in comparison does feel a bit rough. Also it has a few missing features for the really advanced users.

        Yes, but its not “professional” oriented, although the quality tends to be higher than instagram. Px/Flickr offer portfolios, show metadata like focal length, camera, and lens, and let photographers sell their work. Maybe it gets a pro mode for instances in the future
