--- Quote from: Ed.Kloonk on January 02, 2020, 10:25:38 am ---The whole Android is Linux thing comes from the nonsense belief that one represents the other just be having an association on a certain platform. Android is not Linux. Android uses Linux but seems to use it ass-backwards to a small but not insignificant number of desktop Linux users. --- End quote --- There's nothing incorrect about saying "Android is linux". It's similar to saying "My car is diesel", any normal person is going to know that means "my car is powered by an engine that burns diesel fuel" and not "my car is literally just a big blob of diesel", but it's not normally necessary to explicitly state the entire thing because most people are able to extrapolate the correct meaning from the simpler statement. When one says "Android is linux" there is obviously an implied "based" on the end. It's already well established that "Linux" technically refers to the Linux kernel itself but it is not incorrect to refer to any entire distro as "Linux". Take away the kernel from Android and what do you have left? What non-linux kernels can it run on? I would argue that it's a Linux distro much like Ubuntu or Redhat are. Sheesh |O |

What, two pages and no "I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux" copypasta yet? |

I am thinking to migrate my PC, open questions for the Linux guys: 1) What do you use for Video editing? I use Adobe Premiere 2) What do you use for Photo editing? I use Adobe Lightroom/Photoshop 3) I am addicted to Total Commander but I think I will find something to replace it, any direct experience? 4) I love Autohotkey, do you Linux guys used something like this? I can find surely something to replace it, but I dream somebody out there having a diret experience. Why stupid Adobe do not want to offer something for the Linux platform? |

I use Shotcut for video editing and Gimp for photo editing, whether they will meet your needs I can't say but they're adequate for mine. Gimp is great although like many open source products the name is completely stupid and does not have a professional feel at all, I suspect it would be much more successful if it had a more classy sounding name. For games and other things that need Windows you can sometimes run the Windows version under WINE or you can run Windows in a VM using VirtualBox. Another option is to just keep a Windows machine around too, personally I do all of these things depending on what I'm trying to do. |
