There’s also the alternatives of making your own library. I’m happy to use minimal amount of 3rd parties and just make my own instead.

Oh no! Anyways, what are y’all cooking?

No, they don’t.

I use it as second last resort, and in those times, it did worked out. I had to test, verify, and make changes. Even so, I avoid using them.

Welcome back!

My try with GIMP is that I find that the interface is clunky, and the absence of non-destructive editing, and it’s nowhere near the level of Krita/PS at a mechanical level. I tried the version with NDE in GIMP, but I just hate the flow and I find the absence of ease of access to filter as well as lack of inherent mask a issue. So, I’ll stick with Krita instead, and it works out for my needs, but I’m not fully satisfied unless I have better selection tools in there.

Try doing professional level photo editing on Linux

I can be on a tirade about this. If only Krita decided to expand their focus instead of being conservative about their goals, or if GIMP actually had competent people years ago. But, now I’m at a point where I just don’t give a damn about FOSS editing, and fine with let it all burn.

Solidworks/Rhino probably can work under VM, but I don’t know.

My issue is more Rhino and Solidworks. If Blender actually can render NURBS and retesselate from NURBS to polygon, I can pretty much ditch Autodesk Maya as that’s the only reason I use Autodesk Maya.

What about people who needs NURBS tools and Affinity/Adobe class art softwares? Where do they go that corporations decided Windows and Mac are only to be supported? And believe me, plenty of them hates Windoze and I’m one of them.

This. I hope no one supports Hamas here, but certainly almost no one supports either Hamas or IDF.

Probably standards have changed within generations. Now, we’re at a point where younger people feel free to criticize their own military. There are people who hates US military back when Iraq War was a thing that has a beef with IDF. It’s more sympathy toward people that did not sign up for combat, and acknowledging that engagement should ever be between combatants. Older people simply don’t understand that yet.

This. Green energy works best when complimented with nuclear energy. Then, we can ween away from big oil.
