We may have to just accept that it won't ever be a big platform for this very reason and just have fun there as a niche site.

I don't have experience myself with affinity software specifically but here I found a step to step guide on how to run it on Linux:

Like the other person said, Wine is the way to go to run Windows specific software on Linux.

The cool thing about Linux is that you always find a guide for whatever problem you may have and also the community is huge and super nice to help you with any issue.

Also you can always have Linux + Windows with dual boot and try out things until you are comfortable to do the change, or just abandon Linux if it is not your cup of tea, but at least you have tried.

Everybody seems to hate Windows but then...

Come on! It's good, it's free, without ads nor legal corporate spywares, if you want to resurrect your 10 years old computer it will work, if you want gaming on your super PC it will work too, what else can you ask for?

If someone needs help to do the change just tell me :)

I liked Reddit but I couldn't ignore what's happening there anymore. Anyway Lemmy is cool too, not missing it that much.

And nothing will happen, nobody cares enough anymore, the worst is that many people bought the Chinese propaganda and the genocide will continue until their extinction (in Tibet at least).

After reading how Graphene an Murena are fighting over social medial like schoolgirls fighting for a boyfriend, I felt like coming back to Stock OS lol

Yes at this point I think I can agree with all you are saying and I don't feel there is anything I can add. Actually the symptom of a lack of a social need being met is something you gave me to think about.

Thank you for debate, have a nice day :)

First of all thanks for the correction, English is not my first language, I appreciate it.

So... Yesterday in my country in a local forum someone asked regarding the tariffs, what should we do? Are we going to boycott the US? The general consensus more or less was that yes, that's what we should do. Then the excuses arrived, but I'm not going to give up Amazon, nor Google, nor Meta, how am I going to give up this or that? Then other person gave them good alternatives and he was totally ignored. I didn't feel that this was a social need, more like convenience, laziness and apathy. I mean, yeah I can kind of agree with you, there are some things I can't give up exactly because a social need, if I give up one service I get isolated, and yeah when I get depressed I eat sweets when I shouldn't... But what about the rest?

Anyway I am no one to tell you how you should live, nor I do have the absolute truth whatever that is, all I am saying is that if we buy into the bullshit (not a little, I wish it was just a little) then bullshit is what we have, and yeah we can bitch all you want about the bullshit we are in, we change or nothing will change. What did you mean when you said "change from within"? Isn't exactly what I am talking about?

And to be honest I didn't understand what you meant by this social need. Do we really need to buy all the services the rich offer us as a bait to be happy and content? I am aware that we have some needs to function in society, I'm using them all the time, but I couldn't use it as an excuse to the extreme bullshit we are in, my colleagues in my last job complained all the time about the stress and long hours in the job and then they spent all their money in "stuff". Is this the social need? They could work in a low stress job for less money if they didn't spend so much money in Amazon for things that nobody really needs. But instead they were working harder to get more money to get more stuff to buy, it was madness from my point of view not a social need.

I don't know that's why I asked first but they responded with a meme instead.

But I was talking more in general and not about him or her specifically, I'm starting to get tired about the "billionaires this and billionaires that" while posting it in an iPhone 19 and browsing amazon next for the next rubbish to buy, many people do this.

I just wish we could talk about how we really got in this mess collectively instead of blaming because no one is free of blame (not even myself obviously), we can only fix our mistakes if we start by accepting them.

Are these Neoni-koins crypto? I made my research and I have my whole life savings ready to invest.
