Linux for design, but not real design.

[Marco Alexandre]

Hi,

Removing Linux.

2 reasons.

1st. Lack of Linux support for Pantone standards. well, the thing is not
really about the Linux, but about the software that are available for Linux.
I m not sure about outside Portugal, but here, the design and printing
industry is based on Pantone standards. You simply cant send printing
designs for printing based on CMYK or RGB.

2nd. Yet about color, screen profiling... no hardware is supported by Linux.
And please, software profiling of screen is simply... amateur.

Well, if you plan to work with web design or high-amateur design projects,
Ubuntu studio is the best.
but for real, and true graphic design, publishing and printing... forget it
(or any other linux based system).

For me isn't any more the thing about leaving tools like Photoshop behind
(10years of experience on this one), and learn a new one like gimp or any
other else. It's almost like only being able to do web without the html this
days.
Color is part of the core of design, if we cant deal with it properly on
linux systems, we cant do design in linux period.

I'm truly sad about this latest findings, and this time i consider it final.
Linux is out. And so it is Ubuntu Studio.

Farewell.
