Google's browser not only got new chrome, it now also uses keeps track of all websites you visit to generate a topic list for ads that is shared with websites directly. Nobody asked for that.

Honestly, even as someone who's big on only ever using Linux and never having to use Windows as my actual operating system ever again, I've spun up VMs running Windows so I can run Photoshop or something, because the Linux alternatives like GIMP really pale in comparison. Like, I actually hate using GIMP for some stuff at all.

@ngoomie it's a real bummer! i'm optimistic that something like Affinity's editing software will be a bit easier to get up and running via wine or even proton but i've had no luck so far. i don't love VMs or even draconian winetricks setups but it's the only way to use linux as much as i like
