Hmm wasn’t really an issue for me at Hi-Rez as a graphic designer, but yeah keep drinking the industry standard Kool-Aid!

Everybody hear that? It didn’t happen to this one guy so it must never happen ever anywhere!

If that’s your takeaway from what I said I guess I can’t fault you. I don’t think that’s what I implied, but what do I know about what I meant?

Sure, but when I’m a cog in a bigger machine I need to prioritize my work being able to be continued by others or else I’ll be stuck making every single change on it that needs to be made in the future. The architecture we use to use the same PSD on AE projects and embedded webapps is essential to the system functioning as needed. Many, if not most places follow that same line of thinking and using a separate program that isn’t intended for that inner-platform use. It might be kool-aid but it’s a problem bigger than what OS I’d like to use.

I was a cog as well. I worked on others PSDs and they worked on mine. The work I did was of the same quality and any quirks with applications fell in my lap so it isn’t like my choice of OS or application was a hindrance to that cog.
I mean the folks that came before us allowed Adobe to basically insert itself as the only option and just like you’re doing right now use excuses about “well that’ just how it is” in order to continue to keep them as the “industry standard”. Picasso didn’t use Photoshop but here we are.

Yeah well, some of the most popular games in the world like Fortnite or Valorant cannot be played on Linux. Hell even Roblox which used to work was broken for 6 months this year due to a new anticheat (until it got fixed).
As for Xbox Gamepass ? Streaming only. Using a Thrustmaster wheel ? Fortunately someone is working on that, but not everyone is willing or able to build and load their own drivers into the kernel.
Setting aside potential “hurr hurr don’t play these games” comments ; there is no way around using windows if you want access to all PC games, not just some PC games.
