An open source package that would replace adobe would be a game changer.

[–] goldfndr@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Which Adobe?

[–] BlushedPotatoPlayers@sopuli.xyz 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The building style?

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Someone’s been living in a cave.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

That can replace adobe, well done!

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Gimp/inkscape

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I wonder how Scribus is doing these days.

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Never got into that one

I would sacrifice my first unborn kid for this.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I would also sacrifice your first unborn kid for this.

Truly the spirit of FOSS

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world -5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

People really would rather sacrifice their unborn child than pay $20 a month smh.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Why not? OP probably got a vasectomy, so there's no chance that unborn son is happening anyway...

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Unethical LPT: Get a vasectomy then offer your firstborn child for material gain as often as you like knowing they can never collect.

This sounds like the set up for an ancient Greek tragedy.

Worth noting: Affinity, while not open-source, can be brought to run under Linux. This may be helpful for people wanting to ditch Windows.

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Does it run well? Ps under Wine is a laggy and unstable mess

I can't help with personal experience unfortunately. I think some (a lot?) of people are satisfied, but one does need some tech skills to get it up and running.

Instructions are out there in various github repos, some of them also link to volunteer support channels.

Or instructions in German here: https://linux-content.org/so-installierst-du-affinity-photo-designer-und-publisher-unter-linux/
