| > Have you ever used Windows? Indeed, since 3.11. I switched my personal and academic stuff completely to Linux in 1998. I've developed about 6 years with embedded Windows Systems. Today I use Windows for some non-development tasks at work, but I develop exclusively on Linux. > The odd time I need to create/edit images, there is no equal on Linux for paint.net. None. not pinta, not GIMP. Nothing else hits the feature/complexity sweet spot like paint.net. There also is no equal on Mac. Many people like Krita. I've never used bitmap drawing much, but I really like to work with Inkscape which is a vector drawing program. Apart from that, I appreciate there are different opinions. > Secondly, we're in a world where Webex still exists. It is very easy to use on Windows & Mac, & all functionality is available. Using it on Linux involves using a more limited version which runs on JVM and involves you having to figure out what dependencies to install. Using Webex in a VM isn't feasible as there is a noticeable ~3 second delay for voice. WebRTC works very well with Firefox or Chromium. One needs nothing more than the browser and a link to appear.in, for example: https://webrtc.org/start/ |
