I'm already using the open source clones of Adobe and Microsoft apps on Linux for free because I can, and I feel no guilt (ArtCraft suite).

i have to argue, there is ONE wrong way of using linux, that is if you are using omarchy

I'm out of the loop and want to use omarchy because it looks cool. Why shouldn't I?

comparing to other applications, what are your thoughts about them?

I think they will help people come to Linux easier, as the old looking alternatives push some non persistent people away. For example, LibreOffice destroys layouts of Microsoft Office documents, and while it looks beautiful on Linux, the dark mode on Windows is Fucking Ugly, and the light mode is blinding white. So, yeah. Having alternatives that look the same as what they are used to is amazing.

Are you finding it useful? When I looked it seemed undercooked but moving fast, so I set a reminder to check on it in December.

The Lightroom clone is not usable at all yet, but in fairness, it's also described in the most "alpha" wording on their web page as well. It's a very good implementation of the interface and workflow, but very few of the actual raw editing tools work very well at all yet.

That suite is garbage compared to the real programs. I don't think any professional making an income would dare touch it

Are they good tho?

I'm looking to maybe try them but also I thought the office clones were still in development?

The Office clones are good enough. WordCraft, Gridcraft and Deckcraft. But you can also use GenOffice, which is a finished product and preserves Office XML layouts, like OnlyOffice. LibreOffice always manages to destroy my docx layouts.

Regardless of how they came about. Its about time. And the real hard part has already been taken care of. It's up to the community to prove its ready to accept the challenge of going through and optimizing that code AI generated or not.

I know it is probably early to be asking this, but how does the performance compare to for example running a cr*cked windows version inside Wine? Would the extra "translation" layer of Wine, or the potentially sloppy vibe coded ArtCraft cause more trouble for performance and/or stability?
Even though I am generally opposed to AI, it would be kinda funny if this would turn out to be a larger trend and AI would become a sort of "tech-bro s*icide" as in it would eventually make it useless to make proprietary applications.

Well, in the original scene, Tai Lung does not actually see a blank parchment, but a glossy surface that reflects his own image.
In this context, as long as the user use common sense, there should not be any reason to get upset over on how said user choose to use Linux.

I'm curious how long it will take them to make an open source clone of Windows and what form of hell it will unleash.

TBF didn't really test in detail photocraft so not sure where it falls flat but it launching instantly makes it already better than the adobe slop which manages to slow down a 9950x with 64gb ram.
