1 year ago@ngoomie @yote_zip the major reason i have sympathy for is job lock-in – i’ve certainly used machines at my work (where you get no dedicated personal machine and can’t install new software without begging ITS) that have Chrome Only. if there are tools that only work in Chrome browsers, i’m not surprised, but i haven’t heard of them yet… (I could 100% switch to Linux if i could only get Adobe software functional on it, which i sometimes need for work)
@ngoomie it’s a real bummer! i’m optimistic that something like Affinity’s editing software will be a bit easier to get up and running via wine or even proton but i’ve had no luck so far. i don’t love VMs or even draconian winetricks setups but it’s the only way to use linux as much as i like
