In my transition to #Linux , the main problem isnt finding decent software to start new things in, but file-format lock-in.
I've got years of work locked away in .ai files that are pretty much unreadable by anything other than Adobe Illustrator. They are a complete mess in Inkscape, and I'm not sure there's much to be done about it.
I should probably just declare them all done and live with the uneditable PDF versions.

Au Grand Théâtre de Genève, caméras dans les vestiaires et omerta à tous les étages
Une employée de l’institution genevoise a découvert début mars une caméra dissimulée dans une douche par un voyeur, après un précédent en 2014. La direction, mise en cause dans une lettre signée par 51 employées ou ex-employées, a interdit d’ébruiter l’affaire sous peine «de s’exposer à des poursuites».
Last day! Tomorrow night I get to shut up!
My new novel is an SF folk tale readers call "funny and clever and oddly wholesome for a book that blows up half a town."
I'd appreciate your support.

(Inkscape thankfully uses SVG.)

No, but seriously, it's a bit better, but not by much. Standard file formats are really important, because your project can fail, but if you're using a standard format, no one should have to write special software to read the documents it creates.

in reply to John Conway • • •I meant Krita could support Gimp and vice versa.
By the way, is there any standardized and open format that could be used by them?
John Conway
in reply to Jan Ainali • • •There is OpenRaster: openraster.org/baseline/baseli…
... and I think they could possibly use SVG, which would be pretty sweet actually, because it would bring the kind of interoperability that Adobe keep spromising without delivering.
