Why must illustrator trouble me so?
I have a lovely little old dell laptop that used to run windows, but because windows is crap and dell's software is sometimes completely inane and nonsensical for no good reason, i switched to debian.
I use adobe illustrator pretty frequently to design stuff. While I have another computer at home that uses windows, I found the sudden lack of illustrator jarring. I needed to either get it back, or get a replacement.
So I tried using AffinityOnLinux, which didn't work; and then I tried out Inkscape, which I don't really think is a replacement for the kind of stuff I do on illustrator -- so then I tried virtualization, but the immediate sluggishness experienced upon that ugly windows desktop seeing its first light made it clear it'd be immediately unworkable.
While I'm expecting another used laptop sometime around now, it's a surface. An ARM surface. That I also cannot use to run illustrator (because I refuse to pay adobe).
Am I doomed to stay anchored to winhell forever?
