    Adobe and ease of use

    I need Adobe, specifically Lightroom, because there’s no alternative. I can’t just stop using it as a semi-professional photographer (I make money from it, just not a ton).

    Darktable doesn’t handle large libraries well and also is missing features such as AI remove and integration with photoshop for splitting photos up for social media posts.

      If it came down to ditching adobe or quitting photography I would quit photography and I love taking photos lol.

      Adobe is a threat to the photography industry for many reasons (especially to future photographers who want to follow in your footsteps) you should reconsider your options.

      Then Apple. Their M-series are fantastic, and their support cycles are great. Also, taking marketshare from Microsoft is generally a good thing because it’ll force them to make a better product.

        And I can’t game on Apple. A mac is a useless brick for the remaining 50% of what I do on a computer.

          I highly recommend separate machines for work and personal/play.

          If you need Adobe stuff for play, then a separate drive for Windows makes a ton of sense.

      Sorry but then you will have to continue living on your knees, drinking verification cans at their mercy and pray they don’t alter the deal again (they will).
