Ah shoot, I wasn't aware posts about them were a no-go, specially since this is a useful tool for people that already have hardware from them, it isn't any sort of news about "hey buy our new product" or something like it.

Or Bottles!

I mean, there's always another option beyond W11, if you catch my drift

*loud penguin noises*

It does, I used to set it up during the time I used Arch, it takes a bit of reading to understand how it works, but works flawlessly once you set it up.

And there are distros where it works out of the box with no extra steps needed: Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and openSUSE IIRC

There's plenty of laptops with 2 separate graphics cards (mine included) and I'd say it's the ideal experience if you need an NVIDIA card. Everything related to your system is done in the integrated Intel/AMD GPU (which works perfectly) and games and GPU intensive work (like CUDA) gets done in the NVIDIA one.

I can understand it, I almost paid for Davinci Resolve Studio due to it still being the most complete video editor that works on Linux, most of the time closed source apps function better (specially due to the biggest funding), but still, using open source whenever you can basically prevents this from ever happening (specially after Canva bought Affinity, I'd keep an eye out for the eventual enshittification)

I can totally recommend it, during the time I worked with design it was the closest I could get to photoshop when it comes to features and workflow, even more than GIMP, it's awesome!

And it's a huge downside. Meanwhile open source apps are usually available on every platform, with no purchase required.

This. Right here.

The main reason we need to push for open source alternatives is this. The more people learn how to use them the more content around them we get and more people take interest in using it and helping develop it (and donate to it).

even better, use the money you'd pay for adobe suite and donate to open source alternatives

Fortunately that's what the GNOME Foundation is going for, having people dedicated to applying for grants and other programs. Hopefully there's greater adoption by big companies and governments!
