Penguin sounds intensify
There are two things that are keeping me attached to Windows - my PC not supporting Win11, and Photoshop. My god, if anyone can get a copy of Photoshop to work with Linux, I will say goodbye to Microsoft immediately.
(Yes, I've tried GIMP, Krita, et al. They didn't click for me. This is what 24 years of working with Photoshop does to a mf)
There is literally a "photoshop UI" plugin for GIMP, did you try it?
(Also, virtual machines/wimboat exist).
I was not aware. I'll give that a try, thanks
Winboat is not even close to being stable enough to recommend.
This may not suit you, but for me and my skills, it's a perfect Photoshop clone. All in the browser! Blows the doors off Gimp anyway.
I think the affinity suite can run via wine, but that's the closest you're going to get you Photoshop on Linux.

I wonder if ZorinOS gathers runtime statistics and can tell if those new installees stick with Linux or switch to Windows or MacOS.
ZorinOS, Microsoft, AND Apple can all go fuck themselves.
Free, open-source will have a bigger market share after this dust settles
THIS is the year of the Linux desktop!
Says some distro nobody’s ever heard of
They actually come up relatively often in the true newby conversations. They put a big emphasis on making the OS feel like Windows by default to make people more comfortable as they look at switching.

Speak for yourself bro
cause its one of the very few distros that are not made for the terminal lover trans animeweeb crowd, but the everyday user. with a ui that doesnt force you to type all day. they were in the news on linux portals cause they do offer a premium pay2use version, and they are on mainstream tech site recommendations cause they do the dirty work and send out emails instead of ricing the shit out of a window panel and an inaccurate weather widget.
