We may have to just accept that it won't ever be a big platform for this very reason and just have fun there as a niche site.

I don't have experience myself with affinity software specifically but here I found a step to step guide on how to run it on Linux:

https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?%2Ftopic%2F182758-affinity-suite-v2-on-linux-wine%2F=&%2Ftopic%2F182758-affinity-suite-v204-on-linux-wine%2F=

Like the other person said, Wine is the way to go to run Windows specific software on Linux.

The cool thing about Linux is that you always find a guide for whatever problem you may have and also the community is huge and super nice to help you with any issue.

Also you can always have Linux + Windows with dual boot and try out things until you are comfortable to do the change, or just abandon Linux if it is not your cup of tea, but at least you have tried.

Everybody seems to hate Windows but then...

Come on! It's good, it's free, without ads nor legal corporate spywares, if you want to resurrect your 10 years old computer it will work, if you want gaming on your super PC it will work too, what else can you ask for?

If someone needs help to do the change just tell me :)

I liked Reddit but I couldn't ignore what's happening there anymore. Anyway Lemmy is cool too, not missing it that much.

After reading how Graphene an Murena are fighting over social medial like schoolgirls fighting for a boyfriend, I felt like coming back to Stock OS lol

lol I was literally FOMOing on this, and it's so true that I don't even need the legendary plan. Thank you for bringing me back to reality.

Isn't the CEO of Mercadona financing the far right in Spain Vox party? Did you wonder why Mercadona only hires spanish people, only to treat them like shit later anyway? Also all this unfaithful practices they did to fuck up competition and all the increase of prices even when the government reduced the tax...

Man, fuck Mercadona.

To be honest what you say is not my experience, what instances have you been browsing? There are a few tankie instances but nobody likes them, if you've been there I understand you.

I feel the users are very similar to Reddits, probably the 99% of users migrated from there for the reason that reddit sucks significantly much more than before and it is the same reason you are here too.

We are all defeated by the current events and nobody who isn't braindead wants WW3. Give it time, more users will migrate and with it more diversity. The community is growing so be the change you want to see.

That's something that was really needed.

And that's the thing, you found it, yes?

As an example for Spain, the product you say it is for 35€ on Amazon: https://www.amazon.es/Tegaderm-Roll-10/dp/B00E633SK6

And here for 26€: https://farmaciachaves.es/vendas-y-esparadrapos/12932-3m-tegaderm-roll-10-x-10-cm-1-u.html

And here for 23€: https://medicamarquet.com/tienda/material-desechable/curas/apositos/rollo-de-lamina-transparente-16004s-10-cm-x-10-m-3m-tegaderm/

It even beats the 28€ price you found on your amazon.

So Amazon = Cheaper is not true.

It isn't that bad, I started to buy locally and it's true that sometimes it is a bit more expensive but just for a few euros, and sometimes it is the same price.

I also found that if you look for the original vendor site you'll find it probably cheaper than amazon.

And on the other hand cancelling prime will save me 50€ a year.

Let's not sell our souls and destroy our local economies for saving a few bucks that won't go anywhere anyway.
