Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    I’ve been running linux on my laptop for the past 18 months or so. I have a headless desktop machine running windows that I still connect to regularly because it’s just easier. But over time I have managed to do more and more on linux as I learn more or find different programs.

    What are your must haves that don’t have linux versions available?

      The Adobe suite for work and the Affinity suite for myself. I use scrivener too but I’m sure I’ve seen open source alternatives for that and it keeps everything buried in rtf if I get stuck.

      I know there are open source graphics programs available but affinity is the best I’ve used (much better than Adobe) and the forum posts Ive seen about Wine aren’t encouraging.

        While there are alternatives to many of the suites, I don’t think they are comparable.

        An option is to dual boot or run windows in a VM. Or like I do, have a separate windows machine that I remote into when I need to do windows stuff.
