I made the plunge and have zero regrets. Everything works, it's fun, and I get to annoyingly pester friends, family, and strangers about the benefits of open source software! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Steve@communick.news 1 point 7 months ago (1 child) Thank you. My only real concern point now is running Adobe stuff in a VM. Other than that I think I'm good to go. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MellowSnow@lemmy.world 1 point 7 months ago (1 child) How'd it go? Also, what sort of Adobe stuff are you running? I do hobby photography, and unfortunately lightroom is still by far the best option imo. But there are still some decent alternatives that run on Linux. I edited some engagement pics in Darktable in a pinch once because all I had with me was my laptop running Arch. It worked out pretty well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Steve@communick.news 2 points 7 months ago Install has gone fine. Having trouble getting OpenRGB working. Might just have to turn off lights in BIOS for now. And I'm also a hobby photog. Lightroom and Photoshop. I've tried Darktable and GIMP on Windows before. As much as I complain about Adobe, they're still miles ahead of the OSS alternatives. permalink fedilink source parent
