Spends most of article telling you why they probably aren’t necessary.

Ends with 4 examples why they’re useful, which are the main reasons they’re used to begin with.

If you’re trying to place the cursor on a misspelled word, it may default to highlighting it every time. Try sneaking it in by touching and holding on a word nearby, and wait for the magnifying glass to appear before dragging onto the misspelled word. And it’s just a regular touch without breaking contact, not pressing like trying to use the haptic functions.

Which part didn’t work? You didn’t have the magnifying glass appear?

You just place your finger on where you generally want it to go, and hold it there for a moment until a “magnifying glass” pops up that allows you to drag and place it precisely.

edit:

just want to add that I don’t think I ever read this anywhere. I discovered it while mildly enraged, when I poked and held the screen while saying “FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUU” and then the magnifying thing appeared and I was like “oh”

“about Windows 11 when I was in high school”

“used Windows XP since I was 6”

Well, it gets today’s “makes me feel old AF” award.

It has full E2EE, the files are encrypted on your own system and whatever server you use.

edit: you just have to explicitly set it up using your own chosen keyphrase.

Yes. Illustrator is vector graphics so Inkscape is a more direct replacement, and Krita is raster so it’s closer to Gimp and Photoshop. One or both of those probably also have some vector, but not as much as with Inkscape/Illustrator. I think.

I have to admit that I only found that one myself because I was curious what "premium apps" were included in Zorin OS Pro, and eventually found this list they provide of alternatives:

https://help.zorin.com/docs/apps-games/alternatives-to-windows-apps/

Thankfully almost everything on that list is cross-platform. RawTherapee is another on the list you may want to check out.

Ghoelian has already responded to you with what I essentially meant:

It would be like saying that if 99% of Linux users used RedHat.

AOSP is open source sure, but realistically basically everyone is using a closed source version that the OEM has messed with.

uhhhh.... I think? Android is built from linux, with a modified linux kernel, so linux can still be open source even when Android mostly isn't.

No, that's like saying RedHat isn't open source.
