@rysiek @inkscape one of the big problems that FLOSS software has to replace Adobe or similar are the proprietary colors and color spaces, particularly for CMYK offset printing. Either building an alternative or paying for a license are complicated (it would mean distributing non-free software).

Other than that, I've been quite happy with Inkscape and Blender since I left Adobe software a decade ago.

@argumento @rysiek @inkscape I feel like I read recently that Adobe was no longer licensing Pantone colors. Seems as if it's not just FLOSS with that problem

@nyquildotorg @rysiek @inkscape yeah, Adobe is OUTSOURCING the cost of Pantone to their users, and many don't need Pantone if you're not printing. But Adobe still ships Pantone and both Pantone and PostScript are "the standard" in professional printing.

@argumento @rysiek @inkscape I’m using the Affinity suite from serif.com and really like it: one time payment (no subscription), and local install (not cloud based), and wide range of functions combined with very pleasant UI

@xot @rysiek @inkscape lol, I just replied with that (deleted the post) :P

Afinity is nice, but other than not being open source, it doesn't run on Linux either.
