Can you really call it a "installer" when it requires cloud and a subscription to work?

From the post:

>An open-source developer has worked through the last of the issues preventing the Adobe Creative Cloud installers for Windows from running on Linux via Wine. With pending patches, Adobe Photoshop 2021 and Photoshop 2025 are expected to install and run on Linux. Open-source developer "PhialsBasement" worked through Adobe Creative Cloud installer issues due to some Wine incompatibilities around MSXML3 and MSHTML. He commented that Photoshop 2021 and Photoshop 2025 at least are installing now on Linux with the patched Wine.

I’d say it’s comparable, but the interface is utter shit compared to ps.

I never took the time to lear it, and now ai likely can do everything I’d need.

Tisk tisk, you didn't even get your learing degree. We might have to banish you back to the lobby for re edjkation.

I read ejackulation, and was like, who the fuck is this degenerate fuck. Then I had to re-lear and I saw it was ebonix speek. Apologies for my judgement.

Question to the artists: is Gimp really that different from Photoshop? Its all Greek to me, but my one buddy swears against Gimp for some reason

The learning curve is extremely steep and the UI is shit. It's fine if you go into it knowing that you'll have to look up a tutorial for literally everything.

PS is slightly more intuitive (until you have some issue that makes go into the fucking minotaurs labyrinth of the settings menu) and it's AI infill is actually pretty impressive for the couple of times I used it.

Work took my license away so that was the end of that though.

In my opinion, if you learn Gimp it is basically just PS but a little more annoying to use from the UX/UI. I have been using Gimp for basic stuff for well over a decade at this point.

There was a time that some of it's plugins were actually better than built-in PS features. I bet that is still true but I don't do a lot of editing/design these days.
