Linux! 8D
Mori: Also oh man I am loving Linux and am never going back to Windows-only!
Rogan is used to hoarding installers like he's prepping for doomsday, and we just... haven't needed any of them? Linux just CAME with a bunch of default software that was exactly what I needed! It could use our scanner right out of the box, which was a good thing since it's now "legacy software" and we can't get the drivers online anymore. (Which is BS, because our scanner is a trooper. There's nothing wrong with it. It's just old.) Installing stuff was SO EASY. I am flabbergasted. It runs so much faster!
Of course, I haven't dared tried and noodle with our tablet and Clip Studio Paint yet, but that's fine, I'm cool with keeping Windows as some vestigial OS to support the stuff that won't run any other way. I'll also have to fix up our playlists since they seem to be in a Windows-only format and I have to revamp them too.
But WOW this is such an improvement. I don't even care that I can never game again, our shoulder already insured that anyway!
...I just realized that I could play Hack again without an emulator, most likely! OH LORD THE RAPTURE IS HERE! I DONE BEEN SWEPT UP AND AWAY TO SLOW-TO-UPDATE HEAVEN

And holy crap, I decided to test-drive our tablet with GIMP (since why not, gotta use that junker anyway), and... you're right! Needed to tell GIMP to recognize pressure sensitivity, but that was a super easy fix. This is... so easy. I don't know how to deal with this level of ease. CSP will definitely be harder, though. I'm only going to try the workarounds for that once I have my sea legs in GIMP.
Screen tones: how you can afford to print textures and "shades of gray" using cheap junky black and white scanners without major color shift problems! *thumbs up*
EDIT: I lied. GIMP keeps having strange bugs I haven't experienced before. Trying to work it out, but certain tools just stop functioning in one tab, and I haven't figured out how to fix it besides rebooting GIMP. Oh well, better I learn now than later...
EDIT: the fault was mine. I had a layer locked and GIMP tends to make that less visually apparent than I'm used to.
