It's just a clever wordplay on the original meme as far as I'm aware. Instead of "sickos" as it is in the usual meme, it says "SickOS", as if it a distro of Linux. Idk if there is actually a distro called SickOS.

Gotcha, I guess I have just never seen the usual meme. SickOS is a thing though, it’s a pentesting practice tool, a purposefully vulnerable system to practice skills on.

Real microsoft turns it on by default, makes it a huge pain to turn it off AND reenables it every update.

Oh I see.

I guess I'll turn off updates then.

Honestly I have to begrudgingly dual boot windows a few times a month to use certain software for freelancing work, so I bought an enterprise windows 11 key from a grey market vendor for like 12 bucks and then used group policy to disable copilot everywhere it was possible

You've got to give Microsoft some credit: At least they published a fix for any issues you may have with Windows:

Can't you run that one app under WINE or something? Or even a Windows VM if you really need to...

cattrigger@lemmy.ml · 15 pts · 277d (6 replies)

It's the Adobe Creative Suite, I have to use it for my job. Many warriors have valiantly fought to try to get Photoshop to teeter onto WINE, but I have yet to see anyone get the entire suite into a stable state. There is that AENux thing that someone is trying to do for After Effects, but it's still in super early stages... done by one developer for probably Adobe's most resource demanding app.

All the other apps I rely on can either run on WINE or have their Native Versions. I'm tied to either Windows or Mac for my main desktop until then.

brucethemoose@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 277d

At some point, one might consider a remote desktop setup. It’s easier to get a strong GPU that way, anyway.

Also… you can dual boot.

dan@upvote.au · 3 pts · 277d

Have you considered using a VM?

guismo@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 277d (3 replies)

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck adobe.

In other news, try Krita and node based video editors that run natively in Linux.

But sequence based editors... Yeah, it's tough. There is Kdenlive and Blender, but for serious jobs it make it difficult.

I would say adobe is the biggest stone on Linux shoes. The brainwashed with their office braking compatibility would be easily fixed just ditching microsoft, gamers just don't want to switch to something that works. But adobe, with all their patents are a big issue. The moment a real alternative comes up they will sue.

I literally changed jobs to not have to deal with adobe.

But Krita is pretty good.

cattrigger@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 277d (1 reply)

I’m not arguing that there’s isn't better alternatives that CAN run on Linux for most of Adobe’s apps (Inkscape has gotten really good, and I love Krita), but its what the industry has settled for their standard.

But on top of that, since I work a ton in After Effects, there hasn’t really been a real alternative to it. You can have Blender do some of the things in it, and Davinci in some other things, but its a bloated beast of mixed use-cases all in one fancy app that nobody has really attempted to replicate.

guismo@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 277d

Yeah, that's what I said. For sequence editors you're in trouble. Specially if you have to share files with others.

That's why fuck adobe. Fuck them 100 million times. I hope all their ceos and shareholders and whatnot die a slow, painful death.

Same to microsoft, 3dsmax and others, but adobe is a personal pain.

Can't really do that for apps that need a discreet GPU

What apps do you have in mind? I've never come across anything where the video card was the issue (assuming it is already working on the host system).

Yeah, I'm seriously considering Linux for my next laptop and I haven't upgraded to 11 for my current one.

I've had to use 11 for work and I have yet to see any functionality to make it worth it. If anything, 11 feels like a downgrade.

bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 277d (1 reply)

11 is horrible. Forced to use it for work. None of my home pcs have windows anymore. Likix is so great. Just set aside some time to learn it, its not windows, dont try to operate it like windows, and you'll be much happier.

My current job gives us a laptop with Ubuntu, but allows us to, at our own risk, install whatever OS we like. I recently turned down an offer primarily due to Windows being required (PHP and C# shop).

Do you think working on these sort of things hurts developer ~~moral~~ morale? Or do you think nah.

Maybe all of those developers who would be against this have already been laid off.

If there's devs putting up working for Musk at X, then you will find some devs that will put up with anything. I am willfully ignoring developing unmanned killer robots and other such nightmares.

Morals or morale? Because morale yea, big tech just does that to you to be honest. I know a lot of people who burnt out from this

Moral I don't know, I guess most people already hate their product they're developing but these jobs pay the bills.
