In general, is open source software inferior to proprietary software?
>>52977525
yes, photoshop.
of course not. there are very few cases where proprietary is better
>>52977525
No, its just harder to learn in the beginning and usually not as aesthetically pleasing.
>>52977525

Yes, you get what you pay for.

Yes, obviously. I wouldn't trust someone who would willingly give away their work for free as far as I could throw them.
As a design philosophy, no, it's superior.

ps is not garbage its the best out there. Dont say gimp cause is shit ( compared to ps ).
open source is a statement,a philosophy,a lifestyle. that has nothing to do with the grade of the software. I can now create a simple open source pong game that is shit as fuck.

Yes.
You pay for support and updates when you buy a product. Implying that most open source software is free. However I feel as though with open source it is implied that you will still be developing the 'updates' yourself.

>Dont say gimp cause is shit ( compared to ps ).
I'm not him but I kinda like GIMP. I know it's not Photoshop and Photoshop is better, but it costs money (I think it's a monthly fee now). I rather compare GIMP to MS Paint and it's a million times better. You can't really do anything in Paint except crop your picture. GIMP has tons of useful shit and with the single-window mode it kinda looks like Photoshop as well.
I wouldn't recommend this to actual professionals who have absolutely zero downtime possibilities, but you can run Photoshop in Linux. I've seen people do it and if I wasn't so cheap I would buy it myself, too. It runs through WINE but it works well.
Yeah

Open source does not mean the user should fix their own issues, nor is it implied. It enables you to do so freely, but merely because the source is available for everyone to inspect and verify. It does not dictate the user to do so because of its availability.

GIMP is objectively better than ps. Just because you started with something and you can't adapt to something else doesn't mean it's shit. It's just you who is incapable of learning two different way of doing the same thing.
TL;DR ps is garbage, have a lot of unnecessary features AND cost money

There is no competition, gimp and the like are only used by student who make flyers and sites as a side job. Adobe is industry standard for a reason.

>>52987785
Adobe has done a decent job of staying connected with their customers (in the graphic design world). This is why they're number 1. If more were willing to adopt profit-by-support the open source options would be better.
This is why I've come to be a strong supporter of RedHat and similar companies: if you want something done you can either go to the company (assuming you have a contract) or just build it yourself if you know how.

Krita is ages away from photoshop.
Blender is actually better than maya.
This is not bait, and if you've used both you know this is true.
I don't know what's up with mass software companies and being shit at every single product they do.
>>52977525
for consumer use and media use sometimes, in large scale computation, reliability, servers, programming, etc. almost never
essentially if the logo or aesthetics of the application contributes more to the success than its functionality then absolutely yes (adobe, etc.)
>inb4 but a dope really is better
maybe, but success breeds even greater success
>>52987965
Krita is good as a digital painting tool, but not as a photo manipulation tool as far as I know.
>>52988040
That's correct, yes. For me it doesn't even fucking compare.

I tried it for a bit. Seems pretty nice. Getting into the digital painting/concept art world and fuck paying 20 bucks a month without stable income.

Closed source, you have to rely on a little bunch of powerful faggots, but in most cases they'll provide unique functionality.
Open source you have to rely on random people who will often tell you to do shit yourself. It may not help you.
We all want good things but both closed and open source software have their advantages and faults. Me personally, I'm done with using GIMP, no way I'm fucking dual booting just so I can use the objectively superior Photoshop.

Because they're not in competition? I am hard pressed to find any reason why you would choose GIMP over Photoshop other than "I use linux and I want to work with layers so I can do this shitty Trump meme picture"

I work with that slut. She put on a lot of weight lately.
There are very few closed source applications that are better than the open source ones. Photoshop vs gimp is actually debatable, considering their overlap in features isn't that huge, and so few people learn one of them proficiently, let alone both.
There are some much better closed source solutions for PCB layout, antivirus, video editing, and CAD.

I've never used PS a lot, but I fail to understand what makes it so much better. Can someone tell me what PS can do that GIMP can't? I'm not defending GIMP, but rather curious about "why it's so horrible" beyond just having a different interface you have to get used to (coming from Photoshop).

Open source is another term for half assed software filled with bugs.
>>52993757
More user friendly, more options, more fluid. Check it out.
>>52977525
Open source is written by 12 year old and agnst manchild who couldn't get a deegree. On the other side proprietary is done in a professional level with people that actually have a salary.
>>52993757
Gimp doesn't have support yet for over 8 bit per channel color and doesn't have really great CMYK integration yet. So basically if you're working for print media, it's probably better to use PS. Otherwise, there's very little difference beyond the fucking baby duck factor (bawww, things don't work exactly like PS, it must suck!!!).
>>52994736
>indians

>what is RHEL
Open source is better for smaller software. You don't need an industrial level unzipper or pdf reader. Software that requires large scale testing and design is often better proprietary. But once that work is in, like with the Linux kernel, that software is infinitely better.
Open source products that are used often tend to be great.
>this message was send from my Firefox 44.0.2
>>52994884
>better proprietary
Wrong assumption.
Software is better when developed by large competent, well paid team.
This applies to both proprietary and GPL-ed like stuff.
Often problem with free/open source software is that maintainers have their own life.
Just look at open source projects that are maintained by ppl who monetize it - it works much better for those apps.
>>52994581
But on Linux, GIMP is fluid. The setup also makes sense to me, probably also because of what >>52994774 mentioned.
