    I did make a dual boot switch to Linux. Been really liking it so far, but I’m sad to realize that Adobe doesn’t really work with it :(

    I’ll either have to keep windows on a partition, or I’ll have to use a Virtual Machine for adobe in linux, neither of which feel awesome, but… What can you do?

    Switching to Davinci Resolve is something I tried earlier, but I found it a bit clunky

      Yeah, I’ve dabbled in Inkscape, GIMP, and KdenLive as Adobe alternatives, and I can use them for smaller projects but you’re right: they are clunky. Scribus is actually frustrating after all the time I’ve spent in InDesign.

        Good to know it’s not just me then. I’m sorry to hear that scribus is actively frustrating though.

          Like anything else, the interface can be learned. However, I don’t have the time to give it (and the other FOSS Adobe alts) the attention I need in order to learn them as well as I already know the Adobe software. It feels like doing the same homework a second time for less reward.
