I don’t really like Windows but it’s for my gaming PC. My laptop does run linux. I don’t know much of anything about 11 and whether it’s better or not.

    Hyprland - so a window manager? Sorry, don’t use Linux so not sure what you’re gaining.

    How does GPT-4 help with Arch? Can it run commands in the console?

    I’m heavily reliant on Photoshop and related Adobe software for work, so I’ll have to stick with MacOS for now, but Linux sounds very tempting.

    Incidentally, I use Magnet for window management, and it is the bee’s knees, especially since I mapped out shortcuts for my preferred placements 😍

    Also, Raycast is my homeboy ❤️

      Hyperland is a windows manager yes because i have cognitive challenges that require visual sorting of information.

      What i gain? Super sayan levels of fast. Productivity goes brrr. Completely customizable (really into that) and it looks and feels sweet AF. This is with the hyperdot configuration found here, check out the vid. https://github.com/prasanthrangan/hyprdots

      GPT-4: it knows linux much much better then i do. I have no api so i cant just give the command box but stuff like: “provide easy to follow instructions and commands to set up x, y, z” wielded me way better result then trying the same stuff alone in linux before. I completely redid a server project i worked for more then a year on in less then a weekend. I also use it as a command cheatsheet because i suck at remembering commands and the answers on google are burried Between ads.

      Photoshop: This was a worry of myself aswell, a friend send me this “https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux“ Havent tried yet but its not the only option either. As i said elsewhere you can often straight up run windows installed exes from a different drive using lutrius and proton.

      I am gonna need to checkout Magnet and Raycast. They seem very promising for my job where i can only use Windows.

      Good luck if you try it! (Maybe in a vm at first)

      All too familiar. I’ve been using Linux for years now but still keep a drive with Windows 10 just to use Photoshop from time to time. I really tried to migrate over to GIMP and Krita and they are amaizing tools for 80% of what I need them, but they are still not on the same level as Photoshop sadly.

        Yeah 😔

        I even bought an Affinity license to see if I could at least get out from under Adobe’s greasy thumb, but a huge part of my work is restoring vintage illustrations, which means I need to be able to set the White Point of a given image to shift colors away from yellowed paper.

        Affinity does not have the ability to set White Point. So I checked the forums and found this: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10589-set-white-point-photoshop-style/ — this was posted 8 years ago, and still absolutely nothing from the Affinity devs. Since I figured out I couldn’t do White Point, I haven’t opened Affinity again, not even once. Money down the drain.

        Meanwhile, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign just keep getting slower, and more bloated, and slower, and more bloated, and… repeat ad infinitum 🤢
