What's something that feels illegal to know?

Blender 3D, Krita, and Gimp have been the pillars of my creative life. And since last year November I've been running Linux.

yeah but gimp is kind of... not great. I'm not sure how I managed to use it as a teenager 20 years ago lol.

It's useful if you want to make a quick image edit. But otherwise... Yeah.

Only if you already know how to use all its features and how to deal with all its quirks. Let me tell you trying to use it without having ever used it before it's not easy

I've been using Photoshop for years that's why I can't get into gimp I keep trying to use PS shortcuts. It's the same with Da Vinci resolve, it's a great video editing software but I can't shake the premiere mindset.

Probably because the interface was a lot more intuitive back then. I've taught myself Inkscape, but the latest versions of GIMP utterly defies me.

How is blender running on Linux for you? I'm keen to swap over & use blender all the time

Perfectly. It runs perfectly. Blender is pretty much at home on Linux, and rendering with cycles is a little faster than on Windows.
