JUST. MOVE. TO. LINUX.
I don't get why people complain about windows when there's CLEARLY an alternative.
Linux is enough for me personally, but some ppl use software like Photoshop so it's impossible unless they use winapps or something
There are alternatives for everything, and most of them are better that the windows-only options. Gimp, for example, is far superior to Photoshop.
That said, some folks do have to use the crappy MS software for work. There's nothing to be done but to pity them.
I am a professional designer with two decades of experience and I gotta admit, you're smoking crack if you think GIMP (the project that is almost entirely held back by its stupid name) is superior to Photoshop.
It might be able to get the job done for small tasks, but it is not a serious tool for serious people. I'm sorry. I'm as pro-FLOSS as anyone can get, and even I recognize that right now there's just no competition in the design department. Affinity is Mac-only, and comes with its own problematic aspects.
Affinity is very much not Mac-only. I bought the Windows version for my ex (back when we were still married) for her Windows PC.
