Fascinating that they develop this tool and then only release Windows and MacOS versions.
To be fair, windows and macos are the 2 biggest computer operating systems in the world. It makes a lot more sense to focus on building tools for people using the biggest platforms rather than focus on people using something with a user base fragmented across multiple versions of the same OS.
Though I do agree a version for Linux would be nice. Even if we have the mac equivalent of wine, darling, I don't know enough about it to say whether it's up to the task or not.
No they're not. Android is Linux.
It's simple math. 97% of the population uses those two operating systems.
There isn't much more incentive to go after the 3% Linux users. You know the population that loves free and open source software and isn't exactly known for dropping a bunch of cash on software. Not to mention it's a fragmented 3%. Even the flatpak, snap, app images of the world that were supposed to make devs lives easier are fragmented across distros.
Android called. They want their representation in your statistics. Android is Linux.
No one's doing this kind of work on their android phone, so you're argument is pedantic at best in this context.
If I can patch a ROM on my phone, you can patch your picture just fine. You don't have to make it with your phone.
Also, you'd be surprised at how excellent some drawing apps are on Android. Particularly Ibis.
But is it gnu/linux?
Meme aside, that's a good question... I wonder how much GNU made it into Google's implementation. Someone here probably knows.
none. Android uses just the Linux kernel, not the GNU user space tools.
That's why Android is normally not counted as Linux, it's basically a different OS using the Linux kernel.
linux is a kernel
Aren't Linux people usually programmers anyway? Why develop for developers?
Why wouldn't you?
It's not like developers get off on reinventing the wheel or something. If somebody has a working solution, I'd rather use that than spend time coming up with code on my own. I'm busy enough as it is.
what does being a developer have anything to do with it? Do you really think we only use things we develop ourselves?
I use Linux and don't know a single thing about programming
Why drink water if you work with water bro it makes no sense
Omg, I can't believe you actually just said that. 🤣🤣🤣
Do you know what a library is? How about a language?
Buddy, you’re being cringe on the internet. This is a friendly reminder and a notice about that.
You don’t need to be so toxic like in this comment, or as pedantic and pretentious as in your others in adjacent branches on this thread.
I hate that there’s no way to tell you this without sounding at least partially condescending and/or aggressive or whatever myself, but I promise I’m just trying to provide perspective and a view from a third person experiencing your behavior. I truly wish you the best, friend. You can do better.
Imagine someone was like, "why make alcohol for brewers?" and not laughing at them.
