I'm using Photoshop for creating book covers, so my main interest is typography and what is best on Linux for doing that. With Resolve, it works on Linux, but not certain how well. I may have to buy a new Nvidia GPU as I use AMD at the mo. And all because Windows can't be trusted. 2/2

I've been using #ChromeOS for years, but today marks the next step in the move away from Windows on my desktop. After 3 days trying to fix a bsod, I'm wiping the disk. I will install Win11, but am adding Ubuntu which will be my main OS. Gotta find replacements for #Photoshop and DaVinci Resolve. 1/2

Had a "fun" day wrestling with #windows11 that involved updating the bios and deleting some ancient drivers, then installing the latest version. Thanks MS. No work done today.

For many years from the late 90s, I earned my crust by programming, and it was all because of The Hobbit.
I got it for my Spectrum in 1983 and thoroughly enjoyed its retelling of the story.
Then it crashed and filled the screen with BASIC commands.
And the penny dropped.

We've resubscribed to @appletv.bsky.social for Silo, but the bonus is we get to enjoy series that have been added since we last let our subscription lapse.
Masters of the Air was wonderful, we have Shrinking series 2 to watch, but Disclaimer looks awesome. After 2 eps, we're hooked!
