    Oh shit! That’s what we were missing all along! That’s what has, all this time, been keeping adoption down and preventing the year of the linux desktop! A condescending prick talking down to people! We should have figured this out a long time ago! Thanks OP for setting us straight! Now our numbers are sure to skyrocket!



  • At it’s heart, Krita is a drawing program with a few concessions to photo editing/manipulation. Whereas Gimp is a photo editing software with a few concessions to drawing.

    Unless Krita decides to go the full adobe route and try to do both (which I doubt will ever happen), a feature like setting a white point (or any feature that isn’t solely useful for photography but not drawing) will ever be in it.

    People making the comparison as though Gimp and Krita are both trying to do the same thing are utterly exhausting.


  • Liberals of today are quite literally the Progressive Conservatives of yesteryear, before Preston Manning and the Reform party took “Progressive” out of their ethos by merging the Reform Party / Canadian Alliance Party into it and thus hijacking their mandate.

    So really there’s no irony about it. The harder right Liberals crossed over to the new Conservative party to play in Stephen Harper’s sandbox. The old-guard “Progressive Conservatives” who were not comfortable moving more right moved over to the liberal party which ended up moving a little bit to the right as a result.


  • Optimized Repositories for Cachy only have any real effect on newer processors (x86-64-v3 and up). Of course I can still use it on an older machine, but I was asking if my processor (AMD A10 “kaveri”) would be new enough to take advantage of those optimized repositories. (my research so far says no…AMD didn’t add v3 until the next years processors in 2015)

    You’re link actually answered my question, though. So thanks! Don’t know why when I searched it wasn’t finding that page for myself. Maybe my Google-fu needs some retraining.


  • That’s another option as well. It’s between Endeavour, Cachy, or sticking with Manjaro.

    Usually my primary consideration is community size and/or team size. Too many linux distributions seem great, but have low support and eventually just vanish, so I always try to stick to the “bigger boys”. Not saying Endeavour is that, but once upon a time it was the new guy on the block and that’s why I’ve waited to consider it. Same with Cachy. I wait to see if they’ve proven their staying power before considering them.
