RE: Tormenting my Wife via Open Source Software
I must say your wife sounds awfully patient and dedicated to your philosophical approach to software. I've gotten mine as far as accepting Ubuntu on a living room PC used for the entertainment center. But as for switching from Photoshop and Painter to Gimp and Krita, and getting drivers for the Wacom tablet to work in Linux, and the rest of the work-flows she's been using for years - that's a definite no.
Losing photoshop would be painful .. gimp is great but it is still no photoshop. You could probably run those under wine though, so she could likely keep photoshop and Painter. Always better to leave the dark side, fully, but hey.. if you can get her onto Linux with the exception of one or two apps, that's gotta be considered a win.
Maybe just remind her she's using the OS of the Dark Lords .. the OS of Mordor .. the OS of the digital slave. Maybe over time, you can wear her down!
