    I’m not sure that all of the tools that I use will run in Linux. I’m using Visual Studio to write Great Cow BASIC. I’ll probably give it a try and see what happens. I have several pieces of software that are quite old (AutoCAD 2001, PhotoShop CS4, etc) that I keep around because they aren’t the new subscription based everything you produce is ours bullshit. I guess I could run windows in a VM to run those.

      Looks like you’re unlucky enough to have just the wrong versions of those software. PS CS4 is rated Bronze on winehq, and AutoCAD 2001 is garbage. Yet 2000 and 2002 are both gold. CS5 is silver, and CS2 and CS6 are both gold

        Just my luck. I bought the AutoCAD for a project at work and took the keys with me when I left. I was the only person who ever used it. I became fairly comfortable with it and still use it rarely when I need to design something. The last time I used it was a couple of months ago to design new front step stringers for my parents house.

        The PhotoShop I only use for producing all white versions of my customer’s logos with transparent backgrounds for presentations wit cover slides with dark backgrounds. I got hat through work as well. I was having sex with a woman from the creative department who would request the disks and keys and let me copy them. Given that I had very limited use for it I never bothered to try to update it after I left and we stopped havign sex.

        Maybe I cuold find someone to have sex with for PS CS 6.

          Gimp might be able to perform that little logo-transformation favour for you libre of charge, but at least give it a call after for heaven’s sake.

            I have Gimp installed on my notebook. I struggled to get started. I guess I should watch a tutorial video or something.
