I am very happy with my debian system on Linux, I can program, play and make maps with QGIS. Managing the terminal and having WM has been a revolution in my workflow. I even managed to install the very difficult Nvidia drivers. However, my university requires me to work with Adobe Illustrator and to date I have not found an acceptable solution. Are there any advances in Inkscape? Or some other software that can run on Linux? I usually work with svg pdf maps files to modify.
How frustrating all this is, I have so little left to become independent of Windows
