Not OP, but I started using it as a teenager and so I use it for legacy tabs that I wrote out. Not sure what else to switch to that would properly convert a bunch of GP5 files.

Tried it, but it feels too much like a stencil sheet where you defer organization and development to the software, whereas Scrivener gives you a lot more freedom and control over the organization and development of your project.

>in order to even get a fucking wifi adapter to work.
Assuming you're talking about a Broadcom NIC in a laptop? Yeah, it sucks, but there are several solutions. In some cases, just using the b43 drivers will work. In others, you can actually use the broadcom supplied drivers. Worst case scenario, you buy this

https://www.amazon.com/Panda-Wireless-PAU06-300Mbps-Adapter/dp/B00JDVRCI0/

for $15 and never have wifi issues again, or you can replace the entire NIC.

>GIMP
Many of the non-destructive features that make Photoshop great (filter/adjustment layers, layer effects, smart objects, high-end CMYK support, shape tool, etc.), GIMP isn't even expected to have for another couple of years according to their roadmap. The ability to select and move multiple layers, like Photoshop has had for years, isn't even on the roadmap.

https://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Roadmap

>Inkscape
Inkscape is designed specifically for SVG web graphics, but not for print or video.

Inkscape explicitly conforms to the SVG featureset (if SVG doesn't support it, Inkscape can't do it); Illustrator on the other hand, while it supports SVG nicely, is not limited by what features the format supports, so they have the freedom to add as many features as possible.

Support for multiple artboards/pages in one document (pic related) is a key example that I've wanted, but Inkscape devs said they can't support it because even though it was a proposed part of SVG 1.2, it was dropped from SVG 2.0 so they can't do it.

I haven't been able to use Krita that much. It was practically unusable on Windows thanks to a bug. I would try to paint something and it would freeze and not update until I minimized and restored the window.

I just hope it has a modicum of the non-destructive features Photoshop has that GIMP is missing.

Inkscape's problem is that it doesn't simply export to SVG, it uses it as the very format to save documents to. Inkscape is basically an SVG editor. This means that its features are almost completely centered around W3C standards. They had to axe the much anticipated multiple canvas support because W3C took it out of SVG 2.0.

http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Multipage

>Currently, Inkscape does not have multipage support. The main reason is that the current SVG standard does not support multipage documents. This feature was proposed in the SVG revision 1.2, but for now got dropped in the next coming version SVG 2.0.

Illustrator's advantage is that while it can export to SVG, it is not necessarily dependent on a third-party to determine what features it can or cannot have.

If i were to keep it essential, i would say Navegador PJe (an optimized browser for law work), that works only under Windows 7.

But honestly at this point i don't even think about wasting time trying to learn how to deal with terminal stuff (and no, don't come telling me there are distros where you don't need to fuss with it, yes you need to, for pretty much everything)

Microsoft Office is fucking fantastic for my docs.

And when i'm feeling bored and get tired of researching our Lord and Savior Tolkien, i just boot up AI War, Age of Empires 2, Brutal Doom/Real Guns Advanced 2 Refined, Civilization II or any emulator up-to gen5.

Windows works great for CASUAL stuff (which might as well be my middle name by now).

Trados. And several years of tl memories on a sprawling project.

>>61018977
>You dont need proof too know that linux has bullshit font rendering
Interestingly the font rendering is one of the reasons why i feel a bit more dead from inside each time i'm obligated to use windows for any reason. There's just no way to defend windows' font rendering.

>>61019115
>It wouldn't be so bad if more computers had high DPI support.
So a feature only works with certain hardware and that is fine? why does this argument is supposed to be valid for windows but not for linux? In the case of linux sometimes hardware manufacturers are shitty and don't support it even if often receives support from the community. Windows has no excuse when this happens and much less when is a feature like font rendering that should work fine without much hassle.

>>61019141
>(and no, don't come telling me there are distros where you don't need to fuss with it, yes you need to, for pretty much everything)
The fact that you're shielding yourself like this makes clear that you know very well that your argument is false. You don't need to use the CLI more than on windows if you don't want.

Windows supports DPI scaling just fine. The problem is that many laptops still come with only 1366x768 so most people are stuck at the original 96 DPI. The Surface Pro has a 2736x1824 display (similar to the MacBook Pro's Retina display), and the new Razer Blade goes even further with 4K 2160p, so these will do great with higher DPI scaling.

>>61019762
Because artists, as a rule, are butt-fuck retarded and get their pea brains around vectors.

>>61019762
you're not using anything of the mockup you make, so ps is fine and illustrator is worse. indesign would be better but since it's just a mockup that someone else is probably implementing it's better to use the tool you know.

tl;dr for spe/g/trum it's pseudocode for designers. you don't ask people writing pseudocode why they're not implementing asm, do you?

>>61019807
>you're not using anything of the mockup you make, so ps is fine and illustrator is worse.

i dun gedit.

>>61019884
okay, swatches and grids, fair. but swatches and grids aren't hurt at all by not being ~le ebin mathematical vector~, swatches because they're 1d and grids because they're vector even on a raster canvas. you're using the tool you know, and that's ok, but the people using PS are using the tool they know and getting the same results at the same speed.

Also I have a number of macros I've designed to get OCR'd bank statements into a format that can be imported into our software. Spent too long on that and learning VB to switch to LaTeX

At home - would run it on HTPC but wouldn't be compatible with GTA which is one of the only games I pay so CBF

I so wish I could switch though because Linux just fits the way I like to use my PC

According to Dribbble, Behance and Adobe surveys a lot of designers are slowly switching to Illustrator or Sketch for doing mockups. Most of the good designers in my area have moved to one of those two.

Scrivener never had an official Linux port; that was always maintained by a single third-party dev and they abandoned it a long time ago. It never got out of unstable. This is the last version there is, which doesn't even work on the latest Ubuntu.

It's the most flexible and 'cookie-cutter'-less of any story organization software I've ever used. Two hours might not be enough. You should try it for a week or two. You get 30 non-consecutive days to try it out.

I like it because it gives me a bird's eye view of my story and lets me organize it the way I like. I just finished moving a couple of scenes around and I didn't even have to use cut and paste. I would be mashing the X and V keys over and over again if I were using a normal linear word processor.

I can literally download Linux from the Windows Store in just 3 clicks, AND keep my native games and professional media creation software.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSk-4w13fVY

How could it get better than this? This is top comfy. :^)

Notepad++.

I don't code in it. I just use it as a scratch pad because it's got loads of great utilities (base64 encode/decoding, JSON/XML pretty printing, white space trimming, EOL conversion, character page shifting, character encoding conversion, ASCII->Hex converting, case conversion, file comparing) that I can use on the fly without having to save anything.

Is there any alternative? I'm happy to pay for it but would rather native support Linux support than wine-wrapping.

>>61026919
I've long since stopped playing games on consoles. What's the point of getting a console when my computer is already better? I already have a controller and a HTPC hooked up to my TV (which streams the games from my powerful desktop), so there is truly no reason for me to get a console.

Why make the switch to "linux" just because? I already run my server on linux and I know my way around it but I don't prefer it over windows in a desktop PC.

For those who duel boot for video games, do you find it messes up your flow?

I do that and honestly I end up staying in windows sometimes just because I'm lazy

Usually just end up staying in Windows. Linux doesn't really offer much over it anymore and Gnome, KDE, Xfce are all terrible.

How hard would it be to write a device driver for my midi keyboard? The only driver that works with it is for windows 7.

the whole point is that you don't own it if it's not actually libre you retard

If you owned it
1) You'd be able to modify it
2) You'd be able to give it to someone else if you wanted
3) You'd be able to give a modified version to someone else if you wanted, too
4) You'd be able to use it whenever you wanted, for whatever reason you wanted

Obviously, you'll agree that if you cannot do these things, because you're not allowed to, then you don't own it? Well those are literally the four fucking freedoms that must be protected for software to be libre by FSF standards

I run Emacs as a daemon and have Caps+Shift+Enter keybound to open an emacsclient instance

Closing the frame (what you'd call a window) doesn't do anything to the Emacs server daemon, so if I open emacsclient again, it'll have a buffer with the stuff I neglected to save
