I'm pretty much stuck on Cinnamon because it is so (older)-Windowslike, a UI that made sense, was not in your face, didn't require a lot of time getting used to so I could focus on stuff I wanted to do.

Just to share: a port of Poser to 'nix would not be trivial - probably for a number of reasons - from what I appreciate Blender's challenges are currently with Cycles: the ATI manufacturer's reluctance to share core aspects of their graphics drivers with the OSS community. NVidia (despite Linus's disaffectation with this mob) have actually done a better job, which is why we can use CUDA in Cycles renders, and why Octane has a Poser export thingie as well. Which, really, is ATI shooting themselves in the proverbial foot, since once you close yourself off to a number of users for any reason, those users will make desisions based on hardware flexibility when they upgrade and will pass on your product, no matter how price-attractive it may be.

With Steam now on Linux, ATI really need to have a closer look at their decision to be Windows-centric. I don't believe any particular year will be the year of the "Linux Desktop" simply because it is happening in such a quiet way that none of the big corporations appreciate the shift away from MS, but given the rocky economy and the need to put shoes on kid's feet and braces on their teeth and keep up the supply of toilet paper at home and petrol in the car, people are more and more going to re-think the advisability/necessity of upgrading dodgy software that is inherently insecure and will seek solutions that don't cost them an arm and a leg.

It's not a question of being a cheapskate anymore: it's a question of survival for us battlers.

Saying that: I WILL upgrade Poser when the new version comes out. There is still a budget for that, just not for Win8 or Office 365 ... :blink:
