    You’re telling me this free, volunteer-run feature full software that gets barely beating isn’t almost as good as the multi-million dollar product from a multi-billion dollar company?

    If this dude can edit his videos and images on Linux so can you Mr Van Gogh. https://youtu.be/lm51xZHZI6g

      Users do not care about how hard the devs are working for free. If the software doesn’t have the features, it’s not ready.

      Really think about this. You’re saying two entirely contradictory things:

      1. Linux software is ready to compete with Windows

      2. Users cannot expect Linux software to have comparable features to Windows

      How will it compete without comparable features? Passion and morals aren’t valued over effectiveness by most users.

      Yes, that’s what we’re saying. It’s fine though, I don’t expect developers to work miracles for free, they are doing an amazing job, but In the context of “Linux being ready” it’s important to recognize some honest truths.

        Thank you. All of this libre software is amazing, and impressive as hell, but that doesn’t exempt it from having usability issues and other valid points of criticism.

        Calling that out isn’t inherently anti-Linux or anti open source. I want all of these tools to improve to the point that there’s no fucking contest and they are the de facto standard (like blender is), but shit is going to have a harder time improving if people have blinders to valid criticism.
