Yeah I fully understand that a small team can’t support linux if most of the customers are on mac/windows.

I agree with everything you wrote - the same person I mentioned earlier is not a coder but would love to contribute in design (already does with language), but finds it very difficult.

The ecosystem could be similar to the translation tools for FOSS that are quite nice!

I’ve heard people praise and was excited adobe has a competitor. I know I’m not the target group for such apps but it still makes me sad that they don’t support linux.

I know someone who really wants to switch fully to linux and stop dualbooting, but they can’t due to professional software in their fields not being supported on linux :( hope this changes or that our beloved FOSS apps gain similar momentum as Blender.

Glad that you could find that info in time! And damn, that sucks… Wonder what that is all about… Weird. You should definitely make a post about this and ask as I don’t think thats normal if you are not using a VPN or anything extra.

Must be really exciting for people who have been using it for a longer time! And I have heard that adobe products have gotten really slow. Thankfully I don’t need them.

Come on OP, you are better than this.

I also remember blender was considered a hobbyist tool and in last couple of years it has been used more and more for hardcore professional stuff (note that I’m not in the field to know the specifics, might be for much longer).

Here’s to hoping FreeCAD reaches similar status!

Indeed, Europe as a whole! (except Russia for obvious reasons. This is mentioned in the sidebar)

Did not know about Arne Anka, cool!

🇫🇮Peppi Pitkätossu! Love this thread, our Pippi has many names :)

Ha this is cool! Please add Pippi Longstocking/Pippi Långstrump to swedish ones :)

Did not know that either - I’ve recently discovered that a lot of the things I use are already European!

No problem! Hope you find a job soon!

Nice choices! I actually have a link saved up from few years ago when I was considering moving to estonia that might have jobs for you:

Sadly I can’t help with the other countries you listed, but hope someone else pitches in!

Any thoughts on which european language you’d prefer to learn?

If you are in IT or a software developer you can find a job where you only need English, but trust me, if you plan to stay you’ll end up wanting to learn the local language.

Depending on the choice of language we can give some suggestions!

Edit: I know and understand that you’d prefer a single or couple of links, but it’s true that country specific career websites are much better than international ones. I have personally relocated inside EU and the international job post websites were useless.

Did not know Blender is Dutch. Awesome!

Can’t provide exhaustive, but the creator of buy-european.net does give a good list with bullet point style information on subjects such as privacy and basic features for emails:

Sadly I can’t find a nice table comparison anywhere.

Oh shit, I thought it was mentioned that it’s possible with a paid account… God damnit. Didn’t fully read their pricing page since I wasn’t sure if I’ll commit.

Honestly that’s kind of a deal breaker for me when thinking about paying for an email service. I need other, nonpersonal email accounts that are from various providers and I love that I can have them all in thunderbird.

Thankfully I didn’t yet do much with the email and was using it for new registrations.

Sorry can’t open the link; It requires reddit PRO /s

Tuta has been cool. Not sure if I want to commit yet though. Hate that can’t use thunderbird with a free-account but I am considering just getting a paid account.

Exactly. And honestly that has brought a crap ton of unnecessary problems to our lives.
