If people can see past the price tag, which I don't think is so crazy, there are so many Photoshop tutorials on YouTube showing how to get tricky stuff done. After all, people spend thousands on the hardware. But seem stingy on paying for powerful software tools.
wow, how you draw conclusions Random unemployed need. Sounds like your 100k a year is BS more like it. I will not argue anymore with you and I am not wanting to get banned, but speaking of BS.
Why would you ask your AI to create an Adobe-level application if you can just ask it to create or manipulate the image, i.e. directly do what you would have needed the application for?
I'm not convinced that is true. Can you provide more evidence of this?
At the company I currently work for we can't even get Word documents to display consistently between different computers even running the same version of Word! One guy always has blue headers and nobody (not even IT) can work out why.
Erm...IBM anyone? Google? Amazon? Loads of big companies use and develop for Linux...you just might not see it in front of you day-to-day
Funny...I can't understand why people are so enamoured with Windows. I have been using Linux as a desktop since 1997 and have found most of the "facts" about it to be false over the years. I use Linux or macOS when I want to and use Windows when other people tell me to.
Have you seen the market share of Android? Also I suspect most supercomputers and servers run a Linux based distribution these days.
Give it a go and make up your own mind. I would start with Mint or Ubuntu (even Debian is quite easy these days but you still use the command line for some stuff in Debian whereas Ubuntu and Mint you can do things with graphical tools). Some things are different, some things are similar, some things you might love and some things you might hate but there isn't anybody online who can tell you what those things are...what I can tell you is that broadly speaking the security of Linux based distributions, Windows, macOS, BSDs are all pretty equivalent despite the naysayers. They all have some holes and these holes all have patches that are applied on a regular basis—if you keep patching you will be OK (Windows does this by force, macOS and Linux you have more control over when/if you install updates). What you tend to find is that macOS and Windows are patched quietly whereas any flaws with Linux are publicly disected at length which spooks some new users.
Yep, give it a go, worst thing could happen is that you find out it's not for you and your workflow. That's what happened to me. I loaded it, did all the work arounds to get affinity suite working on my system. Did some work, it didn't work, I know now that I am on windows for good. For better or worse. It is what it is, and I am at peace now knowing that the Grass while a different shade of green.....is not "greener".
The context was “on the desktop.”
We're on an apple fan site.
Unless I'm misunderstanding you, you last tried Linux in the early 2000s - a lot has happened in the past 20+ years, and Linux has improved its polish and ease of use. I remember needing to edit conf files, mess with wifi drivers and having a headache with Fedora about 8 to 10 years ago. I reinstalled Fedora earlier this year, those issues were all gone. I also tried a few other distros and settled in on Cachyos.
Good advice for anyone setting up a linux or server or something with port 22 exposed is to disable password authentication and a few other settings to lock down SSH.
Yea I was utterly shocked when testing on my home network, I exposed one of my machines to the public with just port 22/80/443 and the next day there was over 15-20 THOUSAND attempts. Its like cyberpunk beyond the blackwall, absolutely terrifying stuff.
Also one must ask if you are using a free OS on your desktop is there anything worth stealing?
I agree, plus macOS is a UNIX based OS so you have access to all of the unix features that linux copied, but with stability, ease of use, and much better security maintenance of a 3 trillion dollar company backed OS.
This is a problem of tradeoffs. macs have the fastest processors on the market and in some cases literally 800% more memory bandwidth then even the top PCs on the market, but that comes at the cost of it being integrated within the CPU and thus not upgradable.
To be fair he said tried it from the early 2000s which can be read as:
I started experimenting with Linux in the 2000s and of course I tried it in VMs and started managing my own Linux servers in a virtual private server for my blog in the early 2010s. I am very well versed in setting up and managing Linux, but primarily on the server side and primarily administering Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems, although I do administer Debian servers as well.
Absolutely. No root login and disabling password authentication are musts. There are guides online walking people through what they need to do in `sshd_config`. Of course, what would be even better is to not expose port 22 at all and SSH through a VPN.
I also agree. Don't get me wrong I love Linux and I use it both on a desktop and, primarily, as a server OS. But there is a reason my primary computers are a Macs. Desktop Linux has improved leaps and bounds over the years and every year it is better than the last, but there is a lot of misinformation in the Linux world and a lot of old information on the internet that bog down discussions. I vastly prefer desktop Linux over Windows, and that is an understatement. But I definitely prefer macOS overall.
Ignorance is bliss when it comes to Linux. I deal with Linux everyday. There is a reason companies spend tons of money on hardening. Do your own research and multiple posts have discussed it here.
It’s not really free for me I pay pro subscription. Linux is still amazing for virtualization and running containers. I save time by maintaining secure golden images. But maintaining them is not easy but better than base install.
I believe you are calling me ignorant. I find this offensive so please do not do that.
I never called you ignorant. It’s a metaphor.
"Ignorance is bliss" is a saying from a 1742 poem which basically means not knowing unpleasant facts will make people less worried/happier. "No more; where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise"
