The problem with being a designer and a programmer is that Photoshop and Illustrator is on Windows and I code on Ubuntu.

You have to restart and boot a different OS everytime goddamnit

There is inkscape and GIMP but I don't know how good they are

@devTea gimp is sort of a budget photoshop, it is harder to use and has less functions :/

@devTea just forget about it. They're not good enough if one is coming from adobe background.

@htlr Yeah, I tried it and give up halfway, I though maybe I'm not good enough since some people from linux could use it

Eeeeeeh, VM anyone?

This is not a problem anymore, dual boot is so nineties...

Buy another PC :3

Either use a Ubuntu VM to do the coding in or move to programming on Windows

Don't make it harder for yourself than absolutely necessary

@ddephor @Krokoklemme but doesn't vm making it a bit laggy?

@devTea not necessarily, depends on a few things, like the size of the project, the hardware and how the VM is set up

@devTea if you have a 1995 machine, yes.
With a modern, mid range (not an i3 with 4GB of RAM) computer, there is no lag anymore.

If u can afford, get a Mac? 🤔

@devTea Depends on the hardware. But with decent hardware, I'd say at least an i5 with 8GB RAM, better 16GB, it's no big deal.

There is just one decision, and that is, which will be the host and which will be the guest system. I'd decide that based on which system supports the hardware best and which peripherals are needed for which system (some peripherals cause issues when mapped into a VM)

And I suggest using VMware, as it's the most comfortable IMO (compared to Virtualbox and KVM).
