No, not necessarily. Wine programs usually have access to your home directory as a Windows drive (X: or Z: or similar). So do be careful

Assuming you’ve tried Gimp, Krita, Inkscape, Blender, Darktable, what your deal-breakers for these open source tool? Any particular missing features?

Well that’s progress. And yet they removed vertical task manager from Windows 11 😢

My windows laptop is sticking with windows 10 as long as I can, hopefully vertical taskbar is back by the time I’m forced to upgrade. Maybe by then it’s windows 12, continuing the tick-tock release cycle of good and bad Windowses 😂

Also, shoutout to Firefox addon TreeStyleTabs for having vertical tab management

Flashback to ~2008-2009 when all laptops went from 16:10 to 16:9 and we couldn’t understand why. 16:9 was for TVs and watching movies. 16:10 was for computers to do work.

While it’s true finding 16:9 desktop backgrounds is easier, and watching movies and TVs without black bars is nice, 16:10 is much nice when actually using a computer to do work. Taskbars, toolbars, tabbars, headersbars etc take up a lot of precious vertical space, leaving less space for application content.

I’m so torn on this… on the one hand always online DRM “leased” games from what’s effectively a monopoly is bad.

On the other hand… Proton good. Like really really good. Valve has done so much for Linux gaming through their Steam Machine and now Steam Deck initiatives
