I work as a freelance 3D designer and have been trying to switch to Linux.

My tools:
Blender, Rhino +GH, Affinity, Photoshop, Bridge, Python,...
How to get rid of the dependency on Microsoft?

For layout, typography and vector editing I have not yet found a satisfactory solution.
Are there people in (commercial) graphic design who are completely on Linux?
Which tools do you use?

Ich arbeite als selbständiger 3D Designer und versuche bisher vergeblich auf Linux umzusteigen.

Meine Tools:
Blender, Rhino +GH, Affinity, Photoshop, Bridge, Python,..

Wie die Abhängigkeit von Microsoft loswerden?

Für Layout, Typo und Vektorbearbeitung habe ich noch kleine Zufriedenstellende Lösung gefunden.

Gibt es Menschen im (kommerziellen) Grafikdesign, die komplett auf Linux unterwegs sind?
Welche Werkzeuge nutzt ihr?

各デザインツールのリサイズハンドル(いわゆるバウンディングボックス)の UI や挙動の違い。

ハンドルの中のクリック位置のオフセットを考慮してくれるのは #Photoshop#Affinity だけなの知らなかった。
それ以外の #Figma とかではドラッグのときに掴んだ位置がハンドルポインターの四角の中心からずれた位置だったら、ドラッグ操作が始まった瞬間にポインターの位置にハンドルが瞬間移動しちゃう。細かい挙動の違いではあるけど自分は前者が好き。
まあこれは慣れと好みの範囲のような気もするけど、#Illustrator と#Photoshop は同じ #Adobe のツールなのに挙動が違うのはちょっとどうなのかー :tony_grinning:

Design tool canvas handles

BjangoDesign tool canvas handlesDesign tools often pack a lot of functionality around the bounding box of selected objects. Some of this functionality is represented by handles or icons, but a lot of it is hidden.

@lilithsaintcrow It’s almost like they’re actively seeking to alienate customers, except the company’s leadership seem to be true believers in the cult dogma: “you will give your work to our #AI and take what it gives you back, and you will like it.” I already have clients paying me to strip Copilot from their PCs. Thanks for the extra work, I guess (?), #Microsoft.

I have a feeling this will turn out much like Adobe driving professionally creative clients to switch to #Affinity. (By the way, I’d love to be able to recommend a functional Affinity equivalent for non-Apple OSs with a similarly well designed UI & UX — so, not GIMP and Inkscape, unless each gets a overhaul.) With the way things are going, I’m sure I’ll be getting requests for MS Office replacements within a couple/few weeks.

For their patients’ or clients’ sake, I’m hoping the healthcare and legal offices contact me sooner. I suspect it’s only a matter of time before Copilot spits out someone else’s confidential information in response to someone else’s service provider typing a paragraph with a similar initial boilerplate beginning.

#ProxLB - A loadbalancer for Proxmox clusters!

The Prox Load Balancer (ProxLB) helps you to rebalance your Container and VM workloads across your nodes in your Proxmox cluster. It is similar to VMware's DRS (Dynamic Resource Scheduler) which allows you to balance your cluster by memory, CPU or local storage usage to ensure an equal distribution within the cluster. With affinity & anti-affinity groups you can also create groups where objects should be moved to a different groups as a whole unit or even forbid to be scheduled on the same node (e.g. HA setups).

You can find more information at GitHub: github.com/gyptazy/ProxLB

Dear Affinity, any thoughts why your Publisher app starts attempting to contact every page on my reading list/bookmarks/browser history including my health insurance provider on launch?

(You cunts.)

(Did I mention I fucking hate capitalism?)

PS. This is an app downloaded from the Mac App Store and it’s got a lovely, comforting, blue, Apple-approved checkmark to let you know that data is not collected. So it’s safe. *phew!*

Hat jemand Erfahrung mit Affinity und Linux? Derzeit nutze ich Windows auf dem Laptop wegen der Affinity-Suite. Wenn die mit Wine laufen würde, wäre mein Lenovo sofort auf Linux. Nach einigem Recherchieren fand ich widersprüchliche Infos. Die einen sagen, es klappe bereits. Andere sagen, man müsse Wine selbst anpassen (und kompilieren), damit Affinity läuft.
Was stimmt?
