Literally just yesterday, I got rid of Windows and installed Pop OS instead. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] crowseye@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 years ago* (1 child) Nice! I ran Pop OS on my laptop for over a year to get the hang of things before I decided to fully commit. I've been running Pop OS on desktop for about 2 months or so with minimum problems, transitioning to GIMP from Photoshop has been harder for me than switching to Linux. Eager to learn though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nicklybear@hexbear.net 3 points 3 years ago* transitioning to GIMP from Photoshop has been harder for me than switching to Linux.

It just got to the point with Microsoft endlessly advertising to me, changing my defaults, trying to force me to use Edge, and forcing updates that I had enough and even having access to quality graphic design software wasn't enough for me to stay. permalink fedilink source parent
