Hello /g/
Linux can’t handle professional audio editing software. Prove me wrong with an alternative to pic related.
>>51628557
>>51628557
Linux doesn't have software for any kind of 'professional' creative work, be it audio, video or graphics.
>>51628867
Is there any reason for artists and professionals artistic domains to switch to linux then?
There's no reason for anyone to switch to Linux..
>>51628557
>>51628998
krita
>>51628557
Oh look, another winfag spueing his biased untested shit everywere
Its almost as if they have nothing better to do
>>51628998
Not if you want to keep working.
>>51629169
Show me viable Linux alternatives to:
Photoshop
InDesign
Adobe Audition
Pro Tools
Avid
Final Cut Pro
Dreamweaver
Tools that could be used in a professional environment, not crappy homebrew shit like GIMP
>>51629169
As a matter of fact, I have both Arch and Windows on my machine, but I don’t find any good reason to completely wipe Windows from it.
And I got confirmation that I should keep it, otherwise, as >>51629811 said, I can’t work anymore.
>>51629826
>professional environment
>Dreamweaver
>>51629885
Nice shitpost response.
Dreamweaver is used at most web companies for basic HTML layout, newsletters etc.
>prove me wrong
God, people still actually fall for these troll threads.
>>51629934
Most use Photoshop.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
>>51629046
lol
>>51628867
blender, maya and krita are professional. for some things GIMP is also awesome (texturing). also there are reasons for pixar running GNU/Linux on their rendering farms.
>>51630745
>be professional
>use wine instead of os x
yeah, ok, sure
>>51628557
Linux is a ricing anime OS used by neckbeards who will never have a real job. Just ignore them and use Mac or WIndows, something that professionals use.
>>51629934
what year do you think it is?
dreanweaver is a piece of crap and not a single professional webdev should be using it in production.
Notepad++/Sublime/Vim/Atom/Brackets are the big ones. Dreamweaver is ded m8.

Artists can jump off a cliff. If you're not in STEM you're a retard, period.
>>51632283
if you're in stem you use calculate or another GNU/Linux distro.
Not available != cannot handle.

Isn't Dreamweaver literally considered cancer?
>>51632143
how's the performance? does Lightroom work, too?
>>51628557
shh let them have fun with their riced shitposting machine
>>51633086
Now how would it be literally considered cancer? Can your testicles grow a little Dreamweaver in them? Can you die from it?
>>51633134
>Can your testicles grow a little Dreamweaver in them?
i don't have testicles, i have ovaries :^)
>>51633169
Can I ride you sometime, female?
>>51633169
I hope that doesn't mean you didn't understand the point.
GNU/Linux has minimal desktop marketshare compared to OS X/Winblows so companies making such software see no profit in developing a version specific for it.
And companies like Adobe are not famous for writing quality code/software, so getting them to work on a linux port of their creative suite would require shitloads of money.
Microsoft had the money to pay Adobe to properly develop and maintain them, because Microsoft saw the money in it.
In the GNU/Linux world the only company that could possibly pay up for it is RedHat and they on the other hand see no money in software for hipsters with homosexual tendencies.
They prefer to stick with government contracts and I can't blame them for it.
It's an endless source of dosh.

I can let you ride my cactus if you really want to ride something

I work for media production, 99% of our machines are linux, in fact, the majority of high names production software available for linux natively(not open source, though) , they just don't release it for public due to "multiple distros support headache", which is non sense since they can limit support for only one distro.
anyway:

Oh, I actually wondered if such thing actually exist.
Because I see no reason why it would be hard to port already existing OS X version to LInux and vice versa.
What companies handle it this way?
>>51632071
>GIMP is also awesome
KEK, turn up to a design studio using GIMP, they will LITERALLY laugh you out of the room.
>>51633413
tell me a better program for normalmapping in .dds
>>51633275
LMAO, none of those are even close to the professonal alternatives.
GIMP is nowhere near as good as Photoshop
Audacity instead of Pro Tools or Audition? You really are a clueless negro.
>>51633413
Did you just really bring up herd memeing as an argument? Sure if you have never used gimp you don't know what to do and out of fear laugh at the other person.
>>51628557
no you're right. It cant. It also cant handle PROFESSIONAL video work. No intermediate codecs (that dont suck). Linux is a server os. anything outside of that is just playtime with a hacker wanabe
>>51633436
pro tip, if you really want to run homebrew instead of professional software, GIMP is also available for Windows. no reason at all to use Linux.
>>51633461
>>51633475
It's called having an industry standard piece of software, and all your peers and clients expecting you use it/know it. you will never get hired as a designer putting GIMP on your resume.
>>51633500
KEK nice pussying out there anon.
>>51633392
>Oh, I actually wondered if such thing actually exist.
They ofically admit it, search around and you'll find that.
>What companies handle it this way?
Almost all of what I use, starting from image editing to 3D modeling and animation
and I once asked one of our tech guys why would we run the programs in linux if it simply available in windows? he answer me directly that you'll get a significant performance improvements, but the main factor here is the high flexibility of network rendering and making a render farms for 3D animation, video rendering.
Big Hollywood studios use Gahnoo/Loonix, Mac is for amateur/semipros.

>welcome to 'Le Poncy New York Design Company' anon
>neckbeard anon sits down at his new desk in his shiny Manhattan office

>boss glares at our plump, awkward friend
>"... at least let me install Fedora on it and rice the desktop, and run my 'just-as-good' GIMP"
>Top clients from Clinique and BMW are in the office for meetings, they overhear anon and pull out their multi-million dollar contracts

>anon returns to playing LoL all day in mom's basement.
Don't use GIMP fags.
>>51633657
I didn't say use Gimp, you blind
Even though I have nothing against it .
>>51633169
Pics or you're not female
>>51633475
Not him but gimp doesn't even have non destructive editing
I just want Cubase on my linux
>>51633700
>implying i'm stupid enough to give you fap material
>>51633733
Just use Audacity
>>51633737
XY chromosome confirmed.
>>51633487
this doesn't change anything about your argument being retarded.
>2016
>people still falling for the Linux meme
>>51633769
It also doesn't change anything about the fact that nobody with a job uses GIMP over photoshop.
>>51633900
people wit jobs usually are able to use more than on program.
>>51628557
>using anything that isn't audacity and openmpt
>>51628998
Licensing fees. If your work is easy enough to do on the open source software, you'll save yourself a lot of money in licensing. Also, it's always good to support the development of the foss software and make it better--given enough time and support, maybe GIMP will be able to challenge photoshop someday.
If any linux art program is capable of professional work, it's Blender.
>>51633963
>>51633963
>Blender
Blender is the absolute epitome of a typical piece of Linux software.
The ui was designed by coders, for coders. Without any thought given to normal users. You Need
a fucking CS degree just to figure out how to get started.
>>51628557
>>51628557
>he fell for the iZotope® meme
>>51634077
That's true, the UI is pretty shit. But it does a really, really good job once you know how to use it.
>>51634077
if you can't figure out how to use blender, you probably shouldn't be working in the field.
>>51634114
But nobody in 'the field' uses Blender, only home users.
>>51633753
Funny joke friend, please tell another!
>those spergs w/ excuses
Linux is garbage. G A R B A G E.
People only use it because it's free and because they can shitpost about it on this fucking cancerous board.
No good software exists of Linux. It's a timesink for neet nerds who want to circlejerk in desktop threads.
Once you grow up, you'll realize I am right. Windows is better for work.
Yes, deep down you know I'm right. Stop making excuses, don't even bother replying.
>>51634202
is shilling for memesot more profitable than the rupee for a poopee project?
tell us more about in panjeet
>>51628557
If you need a specific program for your trade, and no alternative will work for you, why would you stop using it? Why would you change your OS at all? That's fucking stupid.
Most people have general enough needs that they can be filled by a variety of software. Those people should consider switching.
Linux will continue on without you, just like Windows would if you switched.
OP is a faggot as usual
