    I really like apples OS and their UX is miles better than windows and any Linux desktop I’ve used. The main computer runs windows, but if I never have to touch another windows laptop I’d be very happy. The trackpad experience alone makes it better than any windows laptop I’ve ever used.

    Linux is flat out not an option in any way since Lightroom and photoshop don’t run.

      Fair enough. As I’ve gotten into photography I have avoided all Adobe products due to how shit they are from a OS clean living point of view, and then being a subscription. But I also don’t heavily edit my photos so ART / Rawtherapee and GIMP work ok for me.

        I’m working on becoming a freelance photographer, so adobe isn’t even close to optional. Unfortunately adobe makes good products on a shitty subscription model.

        I’m going to take another look at darktable, but the size of my library doesn’t help anything with open source programs

            First looks don’t look super positive. Sounds like they’re going down the enshittification route though. I figure if I’ll pay I’m going to pay for adobe since I really do hate how much I like using their products

      Damn, I find it the opposite. Apple’s UX is a nightmare, though better than Windows. The window management is dreadful, tiling doesn’t exist, and you have to remember the craziest keyboard shortcuts to do the most basic of things.

        Tiling can be replaced by 3rd party apps pretty easily.

        I’m more interested in what keybinds you’re needing to use constantly. I can’t think of more than 3 or 4 that get used, all the others are extreme niche cases
