Seriously what is this timeline we are living in. What are these fellow humans doing? What is happening in the world??? That could be my child. That could have been you and your father in some alternative timeline.

Fuck this. FUCK

As someone who is some of those things as well, I would love to know what the wife and/or child are doing during all those activities. Because something has to give when you’re doing that much.

In my experience, that balance is really hard, and even in the most hospitable, high-quality-of-life places, that balance is not exactly always something that is nurtured and valued by the systems in place.

It means GIMP is constantly improving but there is still quite a bit of room for improvement, where, maybe in comparison to an established industry standard such as Photoshop, it does not leave nearly as much to be desired.

Yeeeaah right now I’m staying away from it. It seems to work fine … on the surface. But use it for more than a few minutes, or use anything other than the most basic tools on a low-performance machine (I tried to apply a simple brightness correction to a layer) and IT WILL crash and burn.

This seems to be prepared to work without an internet connection or a canvas account. At no point was I prompted to sign in and, in fact, signing out seems to break the program currently.

As much as I want to agree with this (I have a 2018 MacBook Pro that is running t2linux), this is a horrible suggestion.

Sure, if that’s the only computer (or laptop) you already have, go for it, but Linux on Mac, at least via the t2linux project is currently shaky at best. It does work, but absolutely not as a daily driver in my opinion.

Suspend is completely broken, the touchpad is barely usable, performance is horrible, audio quality is horrible, Bluetooth is unusable, battery life is abysmal.

And that’s not even mentioning the challenges you face installing it on your MacBook; firmware hacks, keyboard not working, etc.

DO NOT buy a MacBook specifically to run Linux on it if it’s going to be your daily driver. You will have a horrible time. Buy something more suited like a thinkpad.
