    ignore the entire ecosystem of “professionals” who don’t use adobe. like maybe it’s true with your clients or whatever that you have to use adobe, but it’s not a function of you being more “professional” than other people, shove that.

      I don’t have to ignore them. I can just make $300,000 less per year. But I’d really rather not. There are those who pay me, and those who don’t. after all, I have a job to do.

      The decision is pretty simple and pretty binary. Either I use professional software and get paid accordingly, or I use the software of children and LOSE MY JOB AND NEVER GET ANOTHER PROFESSIONAL DESIGN JOB.

      I can use Adobe software and make the big bux and work with professionals, or I can use children’s FOSS software and struggle to find work and get paid nothing. that’s just how it is.

      Anyone who tells you differently is lying to you.

        software of children

        children’s FOSS software

        Just gonna blatantly disrespect all the incredibly hard-working and brilliant people who not only use, but also develop open source tools? On Lemmy? Lol

        Dunno homie, you sure you want to run your Big Boy Pants™ solely-viable professional corpo-rental big-bux ware on a “children’s” operating system? Careful, you might not get paid!

        Sincerely glad you’re making it under current conditions in the creative field though. That’s great.

        But also it’s a small world. If your wealthy moneybags masters demand proprietary shit, that’s fine. We gotta get our bread.

        But don’t go trashing everybody else or their hard work. That’s not gonna earn you any good will here nor anywhere else.

        Anyway, there seems to be progress being made in this direction: https://www.xda-developers.com/someone-finally-got-the-adobe-cc-installers-working-on-linux-with-wine/

        Best of luck to you.

          There’s always some idiot who will argue. It’s always an idiot who’s never worked in the industry, and will never work in the industry. You sounds like some Facebook Karen, lecturing an immunologist about how vaccines are some sort of “government conspiracy“.

          You’re wrong.

          And you’re gonna die wrong. And poor, without a job in the design world.

          No matter how much you kick and scream and cry, you’re never gonna get a job in the design industry unless you use Adobe products. Lie to yourself all you like, you’re just fucking wrong.

          Nobody wants your kiddie software, and no one will ever pay you unless you use the big boy stuff

          Well… starting with the Creative Cloud installer would the place to start, I suppose….
