I learned Inkscape / Scribus / Krita (which was not easy after 15+ years hooked on Adobe BS) while still on Windoge, had used Linux before so the switch was really painless.

This seems to be a non-MS alternative:

Yay! 🎉✨

Ooof, so much this. Artists only having Insta is only topped by antifascist (and similar: eco, anti-racism etc.) groups only posting on Insta and FB but nowhere else +___+

I also loathe that even if artists have a website chances are above 90% that they’re Squarespace so they don’t have RSS feeds meaning I’ll never see new cool stuff that they might post since I’ll never remember going to their site again, but if it would just pop up in my feed reader that would be just too cool, I guess.

Not sure if it would really be an alternative to Insta/Squarespace for creative people but I loooove https://neocities.org/browse (do they have RSS feeds? I need to check).

I love email, recently started subscribing to artists’ and illustrators’ (non-substack) newsletters and it’s a great way to stay informed if they otherwise only have fascist social media accounts. The newsletters somehow also feel more personal than meny social media posts.

What completely blows my mind every time is when KDE Connect time pauses my music on my PC when I get a call on my mobile.

To be fair, I have never used Blender with an Amd GPU and it’s a very real possibility that I wouldn’t notice and the differences are only there in tge benchmarks.

Just FYI: I’ve never had an AMD Gpu (thanks to Blender’s support seeming poor) and while it j5as been spotty in the past, I’ve used Fedora, PopOS and Bazzite with zero Problems on NVIDIA. Drivers have come a long way in the last years.
