Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
I remember being told to get GIMP because it's the same thing as Photoshop but free and open source. So I tried it.
It's not the same. Not by a long shot. Those who love it because it's open source should mod it up to actually be as good as Photoshop.
I feel like it's even advantageous to them to pirate. If everyone wanting to work in graphic design pirates Photoshop, they'll know how to use it in the business world, and their work will buy it because it's what everyone knows.
Anyone know where I could get a good copy of Lightroom?
So cgpeers has been the best place to get those from for me buuut they closed registrations a couple of years ago now. I can throw a link to the 2024 monkrus version I grabbed though. Not sure how people are with straight up linking things in here though.
I came her to ask the same question.

Good for you, but you don't have to make anyone cum just to ask
This is the highest quality version of this meme I've ever seen
Must have been made with pirated photoshop.
Would you say you pirate those products by...
Prince-ple?
At this point, I'd say it's not just correct but a moral obligation. Adobe has caused incalculable damage to the softwarescape by buying up smaller but popular companies, shoving their products full of AI crap, and putting them behind a subscription.
Allegorithmic used to have Linux releases for several of their Substance products. They no longer exist. Guess what fucking happened.
The <= 2020 versions of Adobe products basically all still work on Linux as well :)
Some of the menus are buggy, but it works for 99/100 of my personal use cases (or I switch to a rinky-dink windows partition or VM)
Technically Substance products work too on Wine, but with a massive hit to performance because they use the GPU through some esoteric API that isn't covered by DXVK or VKD3D.
If you see someone pirate proprietary software: No you didn't.
First you tell them about the FSF...
I’d like to interject for a moment. What you are referring to as Linux is in fact GNU/Linux or as recently i have taken to calling - GNU+Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself but rather another free component of a full functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Are knowing nods acceptable?
