  quite the opposite for me. bluesky is a centralized platform owned by capital exactly like twitter, thus prone to the same issues.

  migrating to bluesky instead of mastodon will just delay the problem.

  both affinity and photoshop run well on wine for me. there are native tools like krita that work well for less complex use cases.

  as for office i use some basic macros and calculations and libreoffice works for me, but there are many choices that may or may not work for your friend.

  admittedly, software discovery on linux is awful. the app store isnt that good on some distros and theres basically no promotion.

  excellent marketing strategy to get us talking about their stuff that would otherwise get almost completely under our radar.

  you can reorganize the app drawer as to make your apps more acessible. just like regular gnome.
