Hi there :) . Always pleased to see GNU/Linux fellas 'round here! :w00t: Which distro are you running? I'm using Gentoo.

Yeah, me too! There aren't as many as there should be. I'm running Ubuntu. I was a longtime mac user and used to only use linux in web development. I was a little worried about giving up photoshop for my artwork but it has caused me to be really focus on the content of the work I'm producing and it has forced me to push myself. I've been using Ubuntu and nothing else for over a year now and I've been really happy. Though some things are a little harder, there hasn't been anything that I couldn't do. I doubt I'll ever switch back to mac.

I made the switch too but from Windows and I must admit I totally embraced the philosophy behind free software. I'm not contributing enough to my own opinion but I'll never turn back either. I'm too much addicted to fully controlling my computer ;) .

Yeah, the control and philosophy are really nice. At this point the end product is better too. I now use a mac at work and ubuntu at home. At this point I actually feel more comfortable with my linux. There are big trade offs that come with leaving photoshop behind, though, I don't feel like it's affected the quality of my artwork. If anything, it's had the opposite effect. Since linux is the underdog and it is not viewed as a serious art/photography platform, I feel like I've had to pay extra attention to detail. It's caused me to work harder and actually improve my technical skills (I think).
