I don’t see a reason to have a preference for a specific geographic region to not be influenced by fascism. Fascism should not be instituted anywhere, in any scenario. Unfortunately, it’s on the rise globally, and I’d personally prefer it not be present anywhere at all, not just in an area in which it has had previous influence.
This is truly dystopian. A ruling in Springer’s favor here could imply that modifying anything on a webpage, even without distribution, would constitute a copyright violation (EDIT: only for material in which the copyright holder does not grant permission for the modification; so not libre licensed projects). Screen readers for blind people could be illegal, accessibility extensions for high contrast for those visually impaired could become illegal, even just extensions that change all websites to dark mode like Dark Reader could become illegal. What constitutes modification? Would zooming in on a website become illegal? Would translating a website to a different language become illegal? Where does this end?
This needs to be shot down.
Your best bet for finding compatibility with WINE (and by extension Bottles, because that’s what it uses) is through their AppDB:
Here is the page for Photoshop (and all its different versions) and here is the page for Fusion 360 (or rather, a version of it being developed to work with WINE)
As with many things WINE, the answer is “it depends” (silver is workable, but still has very significant flaws). You can always try it out yourself, and I recommend walking through the HowTos that people post in the listings and the known bugs. The two programs you asked about are particularly difficult, as they are incredibly complex and use many libraries that are specific to only their own application, meaning their implementation in WINE is not priority (WINE tries to be as compatible as possible, targeting the broadest stuff first before gradually narrowing). Most programs “just work” through WINE, but these two in particular have been struggles to get working for years. Development is always happening, so I recommend to try it out if you’re curious if it’ll work for you. And if not, perhaps it will be better in a couple years.
The token recommendation for apps that don’t work through WINE is to try to find alternatives that play nicer. After all, supporting the anticompetitive business practices of Adobe or Autodesk spits in the face of Linux and the libre software movement as a whole. If you are able to reasonably find alternatives, then that would be ideal, but I find that recommendation quite naïve. As an alternative, you can run Windows in a VM from Linux, or you could dual boot if you only need to use these programs occasionally.
Bottles is really just a frontend for WINE with some extra features baked into the GUI to make the experience better for the end user. Compatibility in Bottles will still be determined by the compatibility a program has through WINE.
Hmm, what method did you use to back it up? It sounds to me like something got corrupted, though perhaps someone more experienced could identify a different issue. What I usually do to clone LUKS partitions is use a liveUSB (so no files change while backing up), then use
cryptsetupto create a new LUKS partition on the backup drive if it’s a new drive (otherwise for incremental backups you can skip this step), then unlock both drives andrsyncto the backup drive. This is also usually faster than pure cloning, as cloning would also copy the (encrypted) empty space in the partition, and for incremental backups,rsyncwill only copy the changed data so it’s much faster.This would also have the benefit of preventing corruption on transfer, because
rsyncuses checksums to verify the file was properly reconstructed in the new location, whereas something likeddwon’t have the granularity to check per-file checksums (especially if used to clone a whole encrypted partition).
