This is the first time I hear of it, actually. I'll check it out!

Good 'ol paint.net, for which I still have to fire up a VM, because no other Linux program can replicate the workflow. I tried many, and out of all of them Pinta and Krita were relatively close, but still far from what I was used to, before I switched operating systems. I could technically try dedicated pixel art programs, but I'm more than fine working with what I got.

I've been using proton for a few months now with a yearly Mail Plus subscription and I have yet to receive an actual spam e-mail. Your experience might be different than mine since I take precautions not to invite spam in the first place, but even then, Proton looks to be doing an excellent job

Yep, that's how they work on my T440. It's quite convenient even if I don't trust them to stay in at times (one managed to fall out already)

iirc it's so that the text will appear correctly in the side mirrors of a car ahead of the ambulance but I'm sure there's more to it than that

Apps - Photo editing and 3D CAD are the main areas I've struggled with on Linux

Yeah, I feel that. Paint.net is the sole reason I still fire up my Windows VM every now and then.

The closest you can get is Pinta and even then, looking at the surface things may seem very similar, but the workflow is totally different (it doesn't even have overscroll god damn it!) and the plugin scene is deader than dead. I wanted to code a proper replacement based on Pinta, but I haven't got the motivation or time for that.

If I wanna edit an image, firing up a VM is still genuinely faster than trying to work with Pinta or GIMP or any other opensource alternative for that matter. Krita has surprisingly been pretty good at replicating the workflow, but it still falls short.

One of the reasons I like Thinkpads so much is the support of the community with mods, parts and so on. Feel free to hmu if you need Thinkpad help lol.

That's specifically why I got mine. It's a shame I couldn't find good deals on a T440P in my area but even the regular T440 should be enough for my needs. Thanks for the link btw! Interesting that the T440 has a military certification lmao

The polish side of the internet has a few hidden gems like that. This one's from 16 years ago. krzyk pterodaktyla (pterodactyl's scream)
