I have been really appreciating open source software this year. I always preferred FOSS over the alternatives (Firefox, Thunderbird, Libre Office etc) but I tried to use it for as much as I could this year, even professionally.
Haven’t bootet into my Windows partition with Adobe Cloud for months now, it’s almost exclusively Inkscpape, Scribus, Blender and Krita on Fedora and I love it! I’m also slowly, slowly getting into Godot which seems like another piece of amazing software.
Sure there are some (very) rough edges here and there and I will have fire up Illustrator or Unity (🤢) at some point when clients demand it but I’m pretty amazed at how well it’s going.
Welp, sending this is totally gonna jinx it but whatevs 😘
2023 was my personal ‘year of the Linux desktop’ I barely knew anything about FOSS up until 2018 maybe?, And the only reason I used Firefox was because I had been using it since 2010 and didn’t wanna change.
Now I’m EXTREMELY grateful for FOSS software and use it over non-free alternatives any chance I get.
Godot is definitely a major highlight. I would love to start using it, but I have too many other things to learn first
The other day I was trying to get an empty vr project to run in unity. After half a day I just gave up. There’s just so many options and packages and license agreements. I’m gonna switch to Godot and Steam index. Even if it’s a lot of work I know I can share it with others.
