@gunchleoc @mike @Skelemental @GossiTheDog Workarounds...

@gunchleoc @mike @Skelemental @GossiTheDog Workarounds are precisely the reason why I don't want to deal with Linux.
It adds unnecessary layer of complexity destined to introduce plethora of errors and bugs in tasks that are already very complex and prone to cause problems...

Windows and MacOS systems are not ideal, but they fit easily to professional workflow. Linux doesn't.

@fionor It all depends on what type of work you're doing, and on how much time you can invest into learning new tools. E.g. https://www.peppercarrot.com/ is produced entirely on Linux, including typesetting a printed art book. So, while it doesn't work for you, it doesn't mean it can't work for anybody else.

@gunchleoc @mike @Skelemental @GossiTheDog There os this mysterious thing called industry standard... Linux ain't it.

@fionor For my translation work, I decided to go against the industry standard tool and bought a different tool that is much better, and can import and export the other tool's file format. So, I can swap data with my colleague who uses the industry standard tool.

It's still on Windows though.
