Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.
So far, Linux has been great for me for most common apps, however there are a few niche apps that don’t run natively on Linux and are borked under wine.
paint.net is the main issue currently as the devs have stated they won’t make any other ports, and the latest versions have a “Garbage” rating on WineHQ. There is Pinta, which is based off an older version, but it’s not good enough for my use cases.
So, for the time being, I’m stuck with using a Win10 VM with a shared folder to use paint.net.
(And before anyone asks: No, GIMP will not work for me. It lacks the tools and plugins I use frequently with paint.net)
