Sweet, thanks for the recommendation!

For anyone searching, don’t do what I did and typo “bbw daddy”.

They are really nice pens to write with, tbf.

With my own money? Chrono Trigger, shortly after it was released in the US. Took a while to save up my meager allowance.

I was a tween, and it was very worth it.

I learned so much by just finding tutorial videos that walked me through general or specific tasks I was trying to accomplish.

I’m getting used to Inkscape, but as much as I do not like Adobe as a company, I do miss Illustrator. My workflow speed has taken a bit of a hit, but overall, with all other things Linux vs Windows considered, I have no regrets on switching to Linux completely.

Is it WW3 yet?

…if this works for my use-case I’m going to kiss your feet.

Have you tried Fade In? fadeinpro.com

Linux hobbiest for a couple decades, began daily driving a couple months ago. My workflows for graphic design have been extremely stunted without being able to use Illustrator.

I’ve been looking for a reasonable replacement since 2012. Reasonable meaning it can do everything I need it to do and without slowing down productivity. So, this pain point didn’t come as a surprise, it just is.

It’s a tradeoff I made willingly and with full knowledge of the ramifications. I have zero regrets, even if I’m handicapped on certain tasks.

Now that I’m daily driving, I’ve been able to learn much more than when I just had Linux on my gaming box. For instance, I friggin love how expandable Dolphin is. Batch resize and convert images with a couple clicks from a file browser? Hell yeah!

The terminal has also become a closer friend, but I still hate VIM. :p

Thank you!

Maybe it’s a silly question, but would using a VPN, like Mullvad, in conjunction with TOR make it even more secure, or is that just redundant?

Are you now avoiding all computers, including Lenovo, or retracting/clarifying your initial statement?

To me, a computer is a tool. In this modern age, we don’t stand a chance of fighting without these tools. Take the sword from your enemy and stab him with it.

Lenovo is a good tool.

Except their bloatware POS tablet.

What brand of PC is innocent? Genuinely curious.

CachyOS suggests a reboot but also doesn’t demand.

It certainly feels that way.

If it’s doing what you need it to do, no reason to rock that boat! It is fun to try out other distros without distro hopping, just to see what’s out there. That’s what a good thumb drive is for!

I’'d bet an entire stick of RAM on it.

Holy shit. I admire the camera guy for being able to hold the phone at all. I’d be running. I’d be crying, peeing, and running.

What’s an xtian?

You know, the whole YMCA song he always used is starting to make more sense.
