Adobe will soon start attaching personally identifiable metadata to content you create in an attempt to stop the spread of "Misinformation"

Thanks, Aspie! For years, I've had a sort-of 'geek wanna-be' crush on Adobe; maybe because I just wanted them to be some of the 'good-guys'. I haven't done much business with Adobe since way back in the "old days" and it's probably time to become more realistic. They probably now are not the same company, at all.
As you have indicated, there is PLENTY of great software available - much of it 'open source'. Since I'm soon going to be exploring the Linux O/S (Mint, maybe?) it may also be time for me to explore a whole new suite of desktop tools.
[sigh] Nothing wrong with new beginnings while our Nation is being reborn; with me, the big issue is "letting go" (as Bob Seager might sing: "... what to leave in; what to leave out...").
THANK YOU for your most gracious and helpful comment! Thank you for being here! GBY and your loved ones! Working together, we MAGA!
Linux Mint should be a good OS for you to start with if you're getting your feet wet in the Linux world! You can also try Ubuntu but be warned, they will track your activities and pass your info to companies so they can advertise to you. I've heard that if you use Pi Hole, it will block the tracking but I haven't done it myself as I haven't used Ubuntu for over 10 years lol.
I'm on Fedora Linux and it's a bleeding edge OS (means it gets updates almost daily that may make or break the kernel). If you want to try Red Hat equivalent OSes, you can try CentOS.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) isn't free but they have their "offsprings" --> CentOS (long term with stability and updates that comes out in wider intervals) and Fedora (bleeding edge, new upgrade every 6 months, can be unstable at times and releases updates almost daily).
Congrats on taking the step into liberating yourself from Windoze! No more bloatware! No more updates that takes half a day to complete! No more spywares!
As soon as you get on Mint, Ubuntu or whatever, install GIMP since you're a fan of Adobe. It's fucking awesome!
Dear D-M-P, I have a LONG way to go on my road to being an "honest-to-goodness code & systems computer-geek". However, it is because of the insight and graciousness and generosity of wonderful persons like yourself that I am, actually progressing. Y'all make learning FUN!
You are one of the examples for me: I want to grow enough and be enough like you that I can help someone else, just as you are helping me. When I share with someone else, I will remember you from "back in the days when I was coming up on the server-farm..." ;)
Please take good care of yourself and never change your AMAZING attitude. May Heaven Greatly bless you on your OWN road! GBY & your loved ones! THANK YOU for being here! Working/ Praying/ Sharing together, WE MAGA!
Adobe was really good for fill-in forms with blanks and checkboxes, but I can do the same thing in WordPerfect. During the previous millennium, I worked for a company that want the functionality of Adobe without spending the money, so I recreated a ton of official court forms in WordPerfect, complete with fill-in blanks and checkboxes. They worked fine. Eventually, the court system got Adobe and converted all their forms to online fillable PDFs.
I'm thinking of moving to Linux, but with a couple of virtual machines running Windows 10 and Windows XP. Some of my necessary software has no Linux counterpart, and some of my old faves only run in XP or DOS.
OpenOffice is a good replacement for Microsoft's office suite.
Thanks for the kind words. I have Asperger's and must help when I can and supply correct information. People in school thought I was a know-it-all. I wasn't really. I only raised my hand when I was certain my answer was correct. So they never heard me give an incorrect answer.
