I remember over a decade ago when I was upset I couldn't get photoshop working on my installation of Ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron. I remember when I couldn't play the games my friends were playing on Ubuntu and had to switch over to windows. I remember there was just audacity for audio editing on Linux and gimp for photo editing.

Now I have krita which is better than the photoshop I cut my teeth on (6 beta, 7, 8, and then up to like cs3). Audour which is so much better than cool edit pro 3.0 and audition. I can play my games, the best dev tools are on Linux, and nearly everything is open source.

Just a small reminder that Linux is absolutely thriving right now. It's so cool to see! Gimp has always been there and it is still getting better and better!

Now if valve would just hurry up and start making phones!
