Especially Canada.

2026 is my year of the NetBSD laptop

North America, where the smart people live.

Oh right… they don’t.

Lucky we still have OpenBSD.

Window Maker is still better.

Users of Arch-based distros, do you need help with Gentoo? I won’t tell, I promise!

I still love Window Maker.

Try OpenBSD. It’s not Linux, but its RAM requirements are perfect.

As if Linux’s reputation wasn’t bad enough already.

FWIW, you could install CachyOS’s kernel on Gentoo. It exists as a package.

Arch. When you can’t Gentoo, but are too proud to tell everyone directly.

A couple of Plan 9 distributions exist.

Arch users can’t Gentoo, else they would Gentoo.

OpenBSD exists

I don’t rule out the possibility that a lot of it is simply down to what I’m used to. I’ve used the Affinity suite from the start, and the way Inkscape works (much like GIMP) isn’t quite so… how should I put it? “Idiot-proof”. I’m a hobbyist; I don’t do this professionally. A slightly more “normal” interface would be a strong argument for people like me to give Inkscape another chance.

Otherwise, I perceived the application as feeling unfinished; it crashed on me occasionally and/or felt sluggish. I get it: there’s little money behind Inkscape for quality assurance, and you can’t expect FLOSS to have people working full-time on optimising the user experience. But then why use Inkscape at all? Because it’s “the best there is on Linux”? That brings us back to my original point: why switch to Linux in the first place?

There are reasons why Wine exists. One of those reasons is that free software has a quality problem. Am I completely off the mark here?

Sure thing, because that’s exactly a one-person job.

Seriously, please try to not be that person on the internet.

Or just use an OS that natively supports Affinity…
