  There were a few things that it eventually got but lacked for way too long like support for UNIX line endings.

  For video editing I would highly recommend DaVinci Resolve. So far I’ve only used it on Windows because I haven’t had any need for it since my switch but it’s available for Linux as well.

  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.

  Well, are you a developer?

  I am. I have written software, both open source and commercial, for almost twenty years now and the most important lesson I have learned in that time is that developers alone don’t write good software. You need to listen to UI/UX experts, testers and user feedback to make something that people actually want to use.

  Just for maybe an hour or so, haven’t had time for more. It seems a bit better but still too different from everything else to assume people can „just“ use it instead of the solution they are familiar with.

  Gimp really needs the kind of in-depth UI/UX redesign that blender got with 2.8.

  I tried again and again to do the things I need to do with gimp but it still lacks many features zthe ones it does have are hard to use. Sometimes it’s not about ideology but about needing to get shit done.

  I have used Vivaldi as my main browser pretty much since the initial release and it’s great.

  I think that one baffles me the most. They make an argument for Shenmue and even if I don’t agree with it being on one, I can somewhat see why it’s on the list. But KCD2 has no right to be on the list at all. As they state themselves, the game is not even two months old. We can’t even remotely say what its long-term influence on the gaming industry will be. Though my money is on “none at all.”

  HALF-LIFE 2

  Okay that’s a little weird. We’re getting up into the real high-water heights here and I mean HL2 is good but…

  This list is not about good, it’s about influential. HL2 was the first major game that based its core gameplay to its physics engine, the first to have HDR rendering and the game that Source engine was developed for. Without HL2, a lot of video games in the decade that followed it, would have looked a lot different.

  SHENMUE

  THE FUCK WHY WHAT

  The article claims that Shenmue was the first to have a “living world” where characters follow their daily routines and so on. But yeah, I have my doubts if all the other games that do that were influenced by it.
