On the new computer, the Linux compatibility was near perfection and it was a luck back in 2008 for my early Linux dual boot test. So, I thought all of this circus couldn't work on long term, and wasn't happy. It was expensive, and also not bringing any new relevant features other than just being Vista compatible.

Oh a solution existed to make all the software running bug-free on Vista update pack. So, I decided to sell this Vista computer, and bought back one of the last machine existing in shop delivered with XP to run smoothly my software. I had to reboot almost twice a day (╯︵╰,).

I had to do a lot of horrible hack to make all my software running on it, but it wasn't stable as it was on Xp anymore. I bought a new computer, delivered with the shiny new Windows Vista operating system, and discovered I couldn't reinstall Xp on it the motherboard didn't had a driver made for it. Then with the years, I purchased other Softwares as Corel Painter, or Manga Studio, and won also many other ( not on the photo ) into contests. 799€ for a feature, that was hard, but at this time, no alternative or open-source software could do it (nowaday, there is 2 tools available: 'CMYKtools', 'Krita' ). With the years, and commissions, I had to buy Photoshop CS2 for my publishers as a requirement to send CMYK illustrations.

I didn't wanted to install hacked/pirated full version, even if a whole part of internet is encouraging into this practice. I did a lot of artworks like that and was happy. I started with the Photoshop Element 2.0 boxed with my first Graphire Wacom tablet, but also Gimp 2.2, Artrage Free edition and Artweaver. Back in the day.īefore using open-source, I was strict on buying every licenses I needed for my freelance activities. I took a quick photo on the ground to keep a souvenir. Probably more than 3000€ of software here. Photo : I'm moving soon, and while I'm cleaning, I found in the bottom of my bookshelves my old software licenses.

Let me tell you, how and why it did happen. It's wrong: I use open-source since 2009 as a personal choice. I decided to write a blog post to silence the rare but existing gossips saying I'm using 100% open-source workflow because I'm.
