"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I’m going to drop this here. Both Affinity 2 if you bought it or the Free Affinity 3 works well on Linux.

I've started working with affinity and I'm pretty impressed so far. It does have some hiccups importing Photoshop brushes where the brush settings are wiped but I figure I have to look further into that to see if that can be remedied.
I have heard that running Photoshop in Winboat works. Winboat is a Windows container where you can install a whole windows system in to it. I ma not sure if it works with the latest Photoshop but I would assume it does.
Nice! Do you know if the Mac License works with the Affinity 2 Windows version as well?
Worth trying, though the new software is free and legacy affinity features are also free.
Basically if you don’t plan on using Canvas AI it’s free. Otherwise it’s moved to another monthly subscription service.
