Lol paying for Adobe? Yeah right. You can easily patch the Cloud trials to be the full versions of the programs for free. Why use off brand versions of stuff when I can just pirate/crack the the used programs for free

Why use […] when I can just pirate/crack

Aside from the ethical reasons to choose free software over something built with lock-in in mind by a US-based, publicly-traded megacorporation… Sounds like you have never used Krita or darktable. These are best-in-class applications used by professionals. You also have been bitten into their propaganda that you need Adobe. Schools could even train on cheaper, decent software like Affinity (tho it’s not supported by Linux), but Adobe is funding indoctrination just like Microsoft does with Windows/Office/GitHub.

Considering most places use Microsoft office, Adobe suite, windows in general.. I have no issue using them since I'm not even paying for them anyways

I'm sorry if I insulted you. Didn't mean to. What I mean is that its not a matter of paying or not paying. Or a matter of privacy or not. It's a matter of freedom and the future of humanity.I Iove paying for libre software. We need software that respects people's rights and gives them the possibility of studying, sharing and evolving to us humanity as a whole. That gives them control over their computers and lives.

I'm not paying for stuff when I can get them for free

Good. But sometimes not paying for something now makes you pay more in the long run
