More Windows refugees should flee to the Kingdom of Torvalds.

At least Bill Gates won't be able to afford the third home for a distant cousin he's never met. /s

I think he could afford homes for any distant cousins, probably to the 15th degree

Can't blame them. The sloth has done so much to alienate their user base that should just kill the division

There are two things that are keeping me attached to Windows - my PC not supporting Win11, and Photoshop. My god, if anyone can get a copy of Photoshop to work with Linux, I will say goodbye to Microsoft immediately.

(Yes, I've tried GIMP, Krita, et al. They didn't click for me. This is what 24 years of working with Photoshop does to a mf)

I have a windows VM for Adobe products, etc. Works fine for my usecase. If you need full GPU Acceleration (e.g. for Premiere), it gets a bit more complicated, but is doable still, as long as you have an iGPU or second GPU.

There is literally a "photoshop UI" plugin for GIMP, did you try it?

(Also, virtual machines/wimboat exist).

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

I was not aware. I'll give that a try, thanks

For work or personal use?

If its for work then consider having two machines, using windows for the work machine and Linux for the personal one.
