2 years plus source code and working oss backends or 10 years (and still source code).
2 years will just ensure endless forced upgrade cycles IMO.

Is there a reason you need a dual book instance instead of a VM or even WINE?
Unless you need direct access to hardware and if you have enough RAM, you can probably avoid dual booting altogether.
There sadly isn’t a viable one at the same level of functionality.
Edit: some random other comment appeared here. Fixed.
Agreed. Companies should be required by law to release source code, build guides, documentation and service architecture for services or apps that are required by hardware they sold.
While there are bigger fish to fry at the moment, socially speaking, the problem is only going to get worse if legislators don’t step in.
Building off the other reply - it’s the standard UX/UI design tool these days. Name a popular SaaS tool - their design / product team likely uses Figma.
They were recently in the news after their acquisition by Adobe fell through.
They also recently release a competitor to Google slides/powerpoint.
Pros:
- you run a home lab
Cons:
- you run a home lab
Thanks for the reply. Makes sense. I haven’t had any jobs recently that would push us there.
CC is also priced low enough we can sign back up for a month if we need it.
One feature set of CC I’ll miss is the libraries functionality working across all the apps. Someone on the team needs a client asset in any app ? (AE/ID/PS/AI) There it is.
How so? Genuinely curious what’s missing as someone who tried it on a job, and loved it.
I just sent a job to print yesterday and the printer didn’t bat an eye.
Are we talking specific types of printing? Like booklets or runs with specific imposition needs or something else?
I think ultimately it will depend on what one needs printed. It would easily meet most common printing requirements as far as I can tell.
I tried Affinity Publisher 2 the other day and it convinced me to pull the plug on Adobe and switch on the Affinity suite. Everything was straightforward and far more intuitive than InDesign ever was (which itself was far better than Quark Xpress before it).
I bought the Affinity Suite, exported all my Creative Cloud libraries (they’re just zip files with a different extension), copied all my Creative Cloud files to our self-hosted Nextcloud and off we went.
I promptly cancelled creative cloud. As I’ve said before, I’ll miss generative fill in photoshop - it was very good.
It’ll also take a while to figure out / learn Fusion as a replacement for AE but having spent a lot of time with Shake in the past, it’ll be fine.
Yes indeed.
The last project I did with one was build a moon and tide clock - all written in python with a motor controller, external display and individually addressable led lighting.
They’re also great as diy audio streaming devices for whole home audio.
