This does not help with Ruida Controllers and fiber Lasers. Both things I have at my company and we don’t have any Windows System.
That is such a shame. And since we need to talk over usb, wine will not work either 😞
If you are by any chance some day near Zweibrücken/Landstuhl/Pirmasens give us a message and maybe we will grant you some time with our machines and stuff ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That is fine. We are as a matter of fact polyamorous and both bi. So, feelings free to join
I was a DBA for over 10 years. Postgresql is superior to mssql in most ways. Especially replication.
But that does not mean that mssql is bad. MySQL is, oracle is.
There is one alternative: anti monopoly legislation. Maybe, some day, if the EU gets their heads out of their asses, throw their privacy braking chat monitor out of the window, and start thinking again. In 30-40 years maybe
This is true. But in reality, it still works.
And yes, the expansion of their Ecosystem is an issue. But to be honest: the cloud version works, and if I get a docx that is broken in Libreoffice, I use 365. At least I have this option.
It’s a complicated topic with no real solution
Windows is an industry standard. And so is office. As long as we treat it as such. If we want things to change we have to go against such standards.
The big difference between Office and Photoshop is: Microsoft opened their file format. And has support for open standards.
Adobe locked their eco system down to build a monopoly. This is not gimps fault. It is 100% on Adobe.
While the outcome is the same, I would love to see a different wording: nothing is an alternative to Photoshop, because Adobe has a monopoly.
Oh no! Don’t do stonks! Look how bad they are for you!
So, if you are in a company that uses Gimp, and you want to use PS, it is still gimp’s fault that this will not work?
I think some parts are just a question of perspective. I am not a GFX person. But I have friends that work in this field. One of them starter learning with gimp. And he constantly is ranting about photoshop at work. He claims the interface of PS is garbage, support for some obscure file format is not even there and so on.
So, I think it depends on what your are used to.
For the documentation: yes! And raw image support is an issue to. Mostly because of proprietary bullshit standards, but yes. This is missing.
Does this make gimp to a shit software? No
You see, I answered your question. Now, where is the answer you promised? Let me guess, you don’t have any?
The answer is simple, Gimp is the only “full featured” photoshop replacement. And the os doesn’t matter for this. There is no alternative in windows besides gimp. Apples products also fall short.
And now, why is gimp shit?
You started with “gimp is shit”, so why not provide reasons for it?
Or is this the apple vs android, coffee vs tea, stick vs automatic kind of subjective argument?
What other products on windows compete with photoshop in your opinion? I don’t get your reason>!!<
This is a reason, but it has nothing to do with alternatives. It would still hold true if you have 8 gimp and one photoshop users
Factual reasons for this please. Besides the horrible, privacy braking, AI stuff, what can photoshop do that gimp can not?
Didn’t even see this part. Sure. Scp, a native Linux tool, has no gui. A sysadmin that can not use a console is no sysadmin. What a piece of bullshit
We are using relativ old Hardware, old thinkpads. They would not be able to run Windows 10 or 11 bare metal ;)
