Linux hobbiest for a couple decades, began daily driving a couple months ago. My workflows for graphic design have been extremely stunted without being able to use Illustrator.
I’ve been looking for a reasonable replacement since 2012. Reasonable meaning it can do everything I need it to do and without slowing down productivity. So, this pain point didn’t come as a surprise, it just is.
It’s a tradeoff I made willingly and with full knowledge of the ramifications. I have zero regrets, even if I’m handicapped on certain tasks.
Now that I’m daily driving, I’ve been able to learn much more than when I just had Linux on my gaming box. For instance, I friggin love how expandable Dolphin is. Batch resize and convert images with a couple clicks from a file browser? Hell yeah!
The terminal has also become a closer friend, but I still hate VIM. :p
I learned so much by just finding tutorial videos that walked me through general or specific tasks I was trying to accomplish.
