Comment on Petition demands that Microsoft extends Windows 10 support
the_q@lemmy.world 1 year agoI 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.

When you have to deal with quirks (and Adobe just progressively adding more ‘quirks’ to overcome) to use the programs you need to make your living, your initial claim of ‘just use Linux!’ still sounds like an unhelpful answer. I mean I use Linux daily but I still need to work in an ecosystem.
Regarding Picasso, use whatever for personal art but people use the “industry standard” so they know any of their colleagues can use my deliverable for anything they should need to is a novel thing. I have plenty of personal experience why deviating causes problems where you least expect it to. It’s a shitty monopoly but I’m glad you have a means that allows you to work outside of it (keep doing it, it’s a good thing!)
