For context, I want to teach myself Graphics Design as I had dropped out of college copule years ago for personal reason but still want to learn it.
I have heard from few people online that they have got Affinity running with Bottles or Wine. I really want to use less of Windows whereas possible but I’m unsure how well it performs on Linux and if there are a better alternative from Affinity and Adobe in general.
I hate that kind of instructions “just blindly pipe curl to bash and hope it’s not malware “
Well, jeah, i usually don’t like those too much either.
But then i just open the url and read the script line for line.
It’s just bad practice to even post such a thing. Especially with an influx of new users to linux, it appears so often it makes it seem like that’s normal behavior.
It’s like…a gun salesman handing a purchase to a customer barrel first, finger on the trigger. Like yeah, it’s not loaded, nothing is going to happen, but that’s just terrible practice.
ok, yes, i suppose i should not have mentioned the scripts without attaching a warning.
i’m still grateful though that someone put in the effort to write 'em, because they finally solved a problem for me that i couldn’t solve for years.
i guess now it’s “the communities” turn to properly document and dissect those scripts for the larger user base.
i’m certainly not angry with whoever wrote those scripts because he didn’t put in even more effort for free.
but i do get your point (i think) and agree.
