Tin-Man Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 So, maybe it's my imagination or nothing at all, but I recall a post about the first or a very old but still active request for linux. I distinctly remember a comment from someone who must have had some say in the matter because his request was simple. Get me the maket research, some numbers showing it'll meet the cost (i forgot what number he mentioned) and it could happen. I'm surprised that up until now nobody has really tried to do just that. I would imagine people who work in digital arts would know a person or two who does marketing. I wonder if that offer is still viable. I'm an IT guy, nothing to do with graphics per say, but what I do know is what's happening with things like Microsoft and Windows, and Linux and I can tell you that right now the industry is shifting, Microsoft has been tactfully ending software branches and opening new ones. Specifically all perpetual license software and they really are corning everyone onto the cloud. Not just Microsoft office anymore. Soon you'll have to pay a subscription just to use windows. Small businesses are also being pushed to move their entire organization, data and all onto the cloud. Software like Small Business Server is on it's last version and then it's either cloud or the enterprise costs for trying to maintain their own servers. Same already goes Microsoft Office. No more small businesses versions. Microsoft Exchange is also already too expensive to try and host your own email servers. So what's the alternative? Apple doesn't even make Servers or Server OSX anymore and they're even shifting again to a whole nother architecture so it's unlikely they'll be an option when people finally realize that Microsoft has them cornered. The only option left will be Linux. So maybe it's worth looking at that research again now?
wonderings Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Lots of Linux threads already, not sure why this needed a new one. Snapseed 1
