GIMP - Development Update: Closing In on the 3.0 Release Candidate
  • For me, the biggest thing was the program not running from a single window. IIRC there was actually a separate fork of GIMP that made it run in a single window called GIMPshop or something, and that made it into a single window. I'm not sure when GIMP itself got single window functionality.

    It's a lot more usable these days.

  • Windows 10 only has a year of support: 12 months left to keep Copilot off your desktop or learn Linux
  • FWIW, Photoshop and Illustrator generally work very well through Wine, not sure about CAD so I can't comment on that.

    In general though, yeah, if you have to use some super proprietary Windows-only software, you very well may be out of luck for Linux. In which case, yeah, you have to put up with Windows and jump through whatever hoops Microsoft wants you to jump through.

  • Game Freak has been allegedly hacked, with source codes for Pokemon games reportedly leaked
  • No other company aggressively goes after its fans quite like Nintendo does. Nintendo have not only gone after fan projects made by fans showing their love for their beloved games, but also gone after community-run tournaments that in no way affect Nintendo, etc. Nintendo are pretty awful.

  • Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you'
  • I think it is fair. When you buy games through GOG, you get the offline installer. Nobody can take that away from you.

    When you buy games through Steam, you can only install them via the Steam client. If the Steam servers are offline, you cannot install your games. In theory, some games are without any DRM, and you can just zip them up, but even then that doesn't always work, and you shouldn't have to. That's not to take away from Steam, of course, it is great at what it does.

    Providing an offline installer that works no matter what is as good as "owning" the game IMO, even if "technically" you are just purchasing a license to use the game.
