Linux for Designers

a blog by Eckhard M. Jäger

Open Source only on Linux?

, , , ,

Who is using GIMP, Inkscape. Blender, Scribus & Co? Linux people only or Mac fans and Windows users too?
Check out my poll at the side bar :smile:

It's 60% Linux and 40% Windows right now.
Many people are forced to use Windows at work, but few are forced to use Linux.

If I would never find Gimp and Blender for windows I would never be interested in Linux and never using it for 99% time.

Sorry for my English. :)

that's how I am--Linux at home, Windows at work. The more cross-platform stuff I can find to use both places (gimp, inkscape, scribus) the better.

I'll have to vote Ubuntu, though I mostly use them on FreeBSD.

80% Ubuntu, 20% XP. I boot XP in Virtualbox so that I can run Illustrator CS3. Inkscape just isn't there yet for pre-press :frown:

70% Mandriva Linux (2008.1 Free) 30% XP (Psi, GIMP, Firefox, Filezilla).

Its quite interesting that many people need XP for some tasks. Thanks to the Wine project i didn't need Windows anymore and i can use Linux at work to :smile:
Yes, Linux graphic apps need more improvement for prepress use

I don't use lots of graphic soft (telling the truth, only Gimp), but I used it on XP before, switching to lin, and will use it after switching to mac. I really like crossplatforms! :smile:
