Why do all Linux converts have to announce to the entire world that they're switching? Is using a flawed, antiquated OS that's hard to use and which has a shitty software library really something to be that proud of?

VLC is not recommended by people who know their shit, however it probably does fine for plain old avi or mp4 videos which is what the majority of people playing videos in the US use.

Psychotic fucktard. Photoshop is bloatware of the worst degree. Clearly you're the one who's crippled if you can't figure out how to do something in GIMP.

@415,617 (Catherine !TGirlYJKXM)
OOXML is the Microsoft equivalent of the Open Document Format. Microsoft, being Microsoft, had to reinvent the wheel again instead of just adopting the existing framework. It's a bunch of XML files inside a zip file.

> These formats are poorly supported under Linux not because they're proprietary
PDF is poorly supported by anything outside Adobe because the format is a clusterfuck designed 20 years ago and haphazardly amended in order to add new functions for the sole purpose of maintaining its status as a dominant business format. As syntax mentions, if something works, businesses will use it until it absolutely cannot be fixed. PDF got a jump on the market in the early years so business adopted it since, being a business, you deal in dollars. Paying for Acrobat made sense because there wasn't any free alternative at the time and businesses were just starting to use computers, so it's easier to outsource the technical work to someone who understands it. Now computers are an integral part of every business, and the spread of computers has led to the creation of better formats which ought to be in use. But since business doesn't move at tech speed, Adobe continues to hold their grip on the business market because of the headache associated with change.

Sure, I could mess around with shitty workarounds in GIMP until I achieve the desired effect, or I could just use Photoshop and get the job done more easily and most likely with a better result. As an example, look how quick and easy it is to outline a bit of text in Photoshop (pic related). GIMP has no simple or obvious way of doing this.

I'm also unsure of what you mean by Photoshop being "bloatware". The interface is completely free of bullshit and it has a solid set of tools. As far as disk space goes, the application folders for Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6 are each under 700 MB on my machine.

> OOXML is the Microsoft equivalent of the Open Document Format. Microsoft, being Microsoft, had to reinvent the wheel again instead of just adopting the existing framework.
Microsoft had to "reinvent the wheel" because the existing file format, Open Document Format, wasn't good enough. Amongst other things, ODF lacks support for macros. In any case, OOXML is an ISO standard, thus there is no excuse for not correctly implementing it.

> (word salad about PDF)
This is irrelevant. What is relevant is that PDF is here to stay and will not disappear over night. If the format is as broken and poorly supported outside of Adobe products as you claim, why would you use anything but Adobe products to open them?
