Important one:
Adobe acrobat: fork to the eyes. (Jokes aside, I’m using Stirling pdf viewer right now, it’s nice)
Don’t forget about FreeCad!
They had an update earlier this year that really closed the gap on a lot of features and tools they were missing compared to other more established cad packages.
figma is not free software, and neither is davinci resolve. use penpot and kdenlive.
Free as in beer, not as in speech, and DaVinci Resolve at least has a $295 upgrade for additional features, although last time I looked that upgrade is included with certain hardware purchases from Blackmagic.
Yea it’s not free but it’s a once off, keep for ever price.
I’m happy with that
Gimp instead of Krita???
You couldn’t pay me to use Gimp. The interface offends me.
You couldn’t pay me to use Adobe. The predatory pricing, required internet, Linux incompatability, file scanning, Adobe Bridge, bad privacy policy, bloated install, useless launcher, DRM, and use of AI offends me.
Techphobic, nonprofessional opinion.
Lol the funniest part is I have a dual Bachelor’s in CS and Graphic Design, and can spell technophobic correctly
can you spell inferiority complex?
Blender is an alternative to 3DS Max in the same way an actual car is an alternative to flintstoning a burnt out wreck. Even in college a lot of our very basic rendering exercises with Max got the whole grade just on demonstrating correct setup because the software is so prone to crashing or taking 20h to do what most alternatives (paid or free) can do in 20 minutes.
