An open source package that would replace adobe would be a game changer.

Krita ?

Worth noting: Affinity, while not open-source, can be brought to run under Linux. This may be helpful for people wanting to ditch Windows.

Does it run well? Ps under Wine is a laggy and unstable mess

I can't help with personal experience unfortunately. I think some (a lot?) of people are satisfied, but one does need some tech skills to get it up and running.

Instructions are out there in various github repos, some of them also link to volunteer support channels.

Or instructions in German here: https://linux-content.org/so-installierst-du-affinity-photo-designer-und-publisher-unter-linux/

The building style?

Someone’s been living in a cave.

That can replace adobe, well done!

Gimp/inkscape

I wonder how Scribus is doing these days.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Never got into that one

I would sacrifice my first unborn kid for this.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I would also sacrifice your first unborn kid for this.

Truly the spirit of FOSS

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

People really would rather sacrifice their unborn child than pay $20 a month smh.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why not? OP probably got a vasectomy, so there's no chance that unborn son is happening anyway...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Unethical LPT: Get a vasectomy then offer your firstborn child for material gain as often as you like knowing they can never collect.

This sounds like the set up for an ancient Greek tragedy.
