FYI: Windows only

Silicon Valley is rotten to its core.

Lol. Lmao, even.

Great deal at that price.

Dell already offers some models with Ubuntu on them.

I’ve been running Fedora with KDE on both my Thinkpad and gaming desktop for like 6 months. I like it a lot.

It might not be my first choice to recommend to Linux-cautious friends, it stays pretty bleeding edge in terms of updates, which might occasionally cause a little chaos.

Way to de-escalate the situation, dumbass.

READ THE ROOM, DUMBASS.

Anyone know if this allows recent-ish versions of Lightroom Classic to work?

Not much. Mint generally works very well. It’s not bleeding-edge fresh and is based on Ubuntu. I don’t think it would cause you to be unable to do any of your use cases any more than any other Linux distro - like the kernel level anti-cheat thing for games, or Adobe Creative Suite products. Doesn’t matter which distro you run, those things ain’t gonna work.

I was the same as many others here, started my journey on Mint. I eventually moved to Fedora because I like KDE and wanted quicker package updates and stuff.

Appointing her to that job has already done grave damage to national security.

I only really have two pain points, one of which isn’t the fault of linux, and the other that probably is.

First: Adobe shit. I depend on Adobe Lightroom. This is entirely on Adobe. I know about the alternatives, but apparently I suck and can’t get good at them. I keep a Mac laptop around just to use this application. I tried screwing around with Wine and VMs to get it working, but it’s pretty useless without GPU acceleration, and so far the only way to get that in a VM is to have a second dedicated GPU just for the VM. Plus, that still requires keeping a Windows installation around.

Second: Wake from sleep. Just doesn’t work properly on my desktop PC running Fedora 43 with KDE. AMD CPU and GPU, etc. The computer does wake up but the display never does, and nothing short of a hard power cycle seems to make it recover. Works just fine on my Thinkpad which is running the same environment, also all AMD but with just whatever AMD integrated graphics came with the CPU in that case.

Having chatted with some other people experiencing the same thing with similar hardware setups and F43 with KDE it apparently doesn’t manifest if using GNOME, just KDE. For now I just have the desktop set to turn off the display when idle but to not put the machine to sleep. I am a KDE enjoyer, GNOME does not float my boat.

Lightroom for me, although it is more than just the installer that breaks it.

Goals.

Because republican senators did not have the balls to convict him

Just be careful with those - they often have weak-ass power supplies that won’t be able to drive a beefier GPU, or may not be able to physically fit said GPU in their cases depending on form factor. They often also have non-standard power supplies that you can’t just easily swap out with an off the shelf ATX PSU. (I’M LOOKING AT YOU, DELL)

I think it is just Facebook tier boomer bait.

There’s a free demo available for this too. Pretty fun. Vampire survivors meets typing tutor…

I’d love if something like this existed to make Raw Therapee or Darktable look/work more like Lightroom. I’ve been trying to learn them but the years of time spent in Lightroom is hard to overcome.

FOR REAL. When my Fedora setup gets some system level updates that it would like a reboot for (kernel etc), it takes maybe 20 seconds to install them. Windows monthly update on the same hardware would take fucking ages to install before it reboots, then ages again to complete installing post-reboot.
