If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one’s own self-deception and ignorance.

  • I use traditional packages and Flatpaks… with “user apps” being preferred as Flatpak. This is potentially safer as the OS itself can’t be affected by installing or removing these applications, and also can mitigate dependency hell as apps that require different versions of the same dependency can coexist peacefully, with each one using its own bundled version of that dependency.

    I also have a couple of appimages that aren’t available as a Flatpack, and I’ll simply find an alternative to anything that is only distributed as a Snap due to the performance issues, mount clutter, and proprietary nature of the Snap distribution back-end.







  • I really want to switch to Linux as my main gaming/production OS but need the Adobe suite

    That’s not a hurdle… that’s a wall.

    If your livelihood depends on running a Windows-only application, run it on a Windows computer.

    You are, of course, free to also have a Linux computer for everything else. Use a KVM switch to toggle between them, or something like Synergy or Barrier to pass the mouse/keyboard/clipboard between both PCS. Share the storage between them over your network.
