Trying to avoid apps with subscriptions. The way I see it, it’s a question of when not if they change how the app works.
It does but from my testing only on impossible shapes. Like two triangles mirrored at the tip with a width of 0.
It has other issues still, but the app is stable.
Pretty stable from my testing, outside of a few crashes when I was asking too much of it.
That said Inkscape/gimp/kirta are good alternatives if you are in the market.
While it’s a pain to setup, Affinity does work in Bottles and a specific build of Wine. Not easy to do, but it’s possible.
Arch isn't too hard with the AUR offering packages that said I only stuck out with Manjaro. They had a GUI to help with the install.
I personally wouldn't advise using it if you are new to Linux. I use Linux Mint and it's been amazing for my work load. (Cad video editing and games.)
While the safe bet with Linux is AMD, it's not like Nvidia or Intel are bad options for Linux. (,running RTX 3050 and 12100f).
It just depends on your platform and how comfortable you are with tinkering.
From my testing, Ubuntu based, is the easiest to get up and running while Fedora and arch can take a bit of work.
For my recommendation, look at the games you wanna run and see what they recommend for hardware. An in general safe bet, 12th gen Intel i3/i5 or 3rd gen Ryzen is a good bet for cheap hardware still in stock in stores or online. Upgrade is good (12-14th on the same socket & 1-5th gen Ryzen on the same socket).
Graphics cards works on both, and AmD and Nvidia works on Linux, though Nvidia is behind on support, but not by much games will be stable.
Because printing in Linux both works and is supported and not supported and hope that there are drivers and they work.
For example, I have a brother printer and in both arch and Ubuntu/mint the printer worked out of the box. But I was missing features like double sided printing. So I had to download drivers for it.
In arch the drivers were on the AUR, so I was printing is seconds.
In Ubuntu/mint they weren’t in my package manager, so I had to go to brother’s website and hope they had drivers. Brother did and while it took a bit it did work too. No worse than windows.
Welp I guess this also includes NSO games.
Bold assumption to think that I have a Neogeo pocket color. (I'm broke)
Tbh running AMD isn’t easier. For my workload I needed OpenCL and when it wasn’t installed by default, and wasn’t apart of apt package manager. I had to follow a script which involves amdgpu and only having OpenCL install if I wanted my machine stable.
Not the best experience.
For Nvidia some distros have installers built in to handle it. Like Mint where it’s one click and a restart and I have everything.
