Switching to Linux?


Recommended Posts

What are some things I need to look out for when switching to Linux. Also, what should I expect to be different? (I'm switching form Windows).

Also, can I use these programs on Linux:

Opera

and

Photoshop

P.S. I'm looking into Ubuntu most likely.

Opera, yes. Their website will give you a nice big "install" button.

Photoshop, no. Some older versions of Photoshop may work under wine, but this is probably something you won't want to rely on. GIMP can work well with Photoshop .psd files and do much of the same things, but if you rely at all on CYMK colorspace for delivering to a real print shop, then GIMP will fall on its face (no CYMK).

First I will advise you to try GIMP. But yes Photoshop up to version CS2 works really good in the newest wine versions.

And yes opera is natively available on linux.

(I don't know how much you have looked into linux, but just remember it is NOT windows neither is it a replacement.)

Good luck in the world of open source.
