Comment on Petition: Bring the Affinity Suite to Linux - #AffinityOnLinux
mtchristo@lemm.ee 2 days agoDon’t try to do client work bound to a deadline on gimp. Because the stress will make you close gimp at the simplest inconvenience. That’s what happened to me. But trying to work with it on my free time. And installing the photogimp addon helped alot. Gimp still has a long way to go.

So what do I do when I need to get something done on a deadline? VM? Dualboot? Just give up?
Please don’t interpret that as an attack, it’s a serious question. I would love to fully move to linux. I’ve put Arch on my laptop about a month ago as an experiment and overall it works great. But every time I need to be productive, I hit a wall. Especially with photo editing but even for software development (mostly C# and C++), Windows 10 + WSL feels like the better choice.

My comment wasn’t about specifically using gimp on Linux and dumping Mac and windows. But just about how to getting used to gimp in general.
Linux is still lacking many other professional grade software so even you find a PS replacement on linux. Other software problems might pop up.
