Like I said, if a server needs building, it’s *ONLY* going to be a Linux box.

Linux is not ready for the desktop world, unless you want to use a bunch of open-source poorly-supported apps. In the normal professional content creation space, you just don’t use it.

Next person that tells me to use the Gimp instead of Photoshop, or Blender instead of 3DSMAX or audacity instead of ProTools will get shot :) No one in industry uses them.

But that kind of talk can get you shot in a Linux forum!

I tried Gimp once. It was horrible.

I use Photoshop Elements. Considering that you can get older versions on eBay for practically nothing, it’s the best way to go, IMHO. It’s not for the pros, but for the average user who wants to fix photos, it’s perfect.

And you buy it. You own it. You don’t have to pay monthly ransom to keep it running.

It is not quite fair to use your specialized needs and personal judgement because of those specialized needs universally across the board for everyone. For the average user majority it is now absolutely fantastic, much better than Win 10.
