    I don’t have to ignore them. I can just make $300,000 less per year. But I’d really rather not. There are those who pay me, and those who don’t. after all, I have a job to do.

    The decision is pretty simple and pretty binary. Either I use professional software and get paid accordingly, or I use the software of children and LOSE MY JOB AND NEVER GET ANOTHER PROFESSIONAL DESIGN JOB.

    I can use Adobe software and make the big bux and work with professionals, or I can use children’s FOSS software and struggle to find work and get paid nothing. that’s just how it is.

    Anyone who tells you differently is lying to you.

      software of children

      children’s FOSS software

      Just gonna blatantly disrespect all the incredibly hard-working and brilliant people who not only use, but also develop open source tools? On Lemmy? Lol

      Dunno homie, you sure you want to run your Big Boy Pants™ solely-viable professional corpo-rental big-bux ware on a “children’s” operating system? Careful, you might not get paid!

      Sincerely glad you’re making it under current conditions in the creative field though. That’s great.

      But also it’s a small world. If your wealthy moneybags masters demand proprietary shit, that’s fine. We gotta get our bread.

      But don’t go trashing everybody else or their hard work. That’s not gonna earn you any good will here nor anywhere else.

      Anyway, there seems to be progress being made in this direction: https://www.xda-developers.com/someone-finally-got-the-adobe-cc-installers-working-on-linux-with-wine/

      Best of luck to you.

        There’s always some idiot who will argue. It’s always an idiot who’s never worked in the industry, and will never work in the industry. You sound like some Facebook Karen, lecturing an immunologist about how vaccines are some sort of “government conspiracy“.

        You’re wrong.

        And you’re gonna die wrong. And poor, without a job in the design world.

        No matter how much you kick and scream and cry, you’re never gonna get a job in the design industry unless you use Adobe products. Lie to yourself all you like, you’re just fucking wrong.

        Nobody wants your kiddie software, and no one will ever pay you unless you use the big boy stuff

          If you notice, I never even argued open source vs Adobe. Use what you like.

          My argument is “Plenty of talented people, even in your industry, build FOSS that millions use. Doesn’t always have to be for profit. TL;DR: don’t be a dick.”

          You condemn open source software as “kiddie tools” and “children’s software” but the root of your thread is “plz help me run muh adobes in Linux.” It was fine. Then you started raging at hypothetical “attackers” like some cracked out bum.

          I’m just surprised even if Macs start checking IDs you wouldn’t be advocating for them as the only way to get anything useful and profitable done, since freely available software is allegedly clearly so inferior and unprofessional.

          Also I tried to help you out anyway with that link.

          Good luck, have fun, enjoy all your money you like talking about lol.

            If you notice

            All I notice is that you keep coming back with your crybaby tantrums. I’m not even reading your comments anymore. Get the hell over yourself.

            lol
