      Do it! I made the plunge and have zero regrets. Everything works, it’s fun, and I get to annoyingly pester friends, family, and strangers about the benefits of open source software!

        Thank you. My only real concern point now is running Adobe stuff in a VM. Other than that I think I’m good to go.

          How’d it go? Also, what sort of Adobe stuff are you running? I do hobby photography, and unfortunately lightroom is still by far the best option imo. But there are still some decent alternatives that run on Linux. I edited some engagement pics in Darktable in a pinch once because all I had with me was my laptop running Arch. It worked out pretty well.

            Install has gone fine.
            Having trouble getting OpenRGB working. Might just have to turn off lights in BIOS for now.

            And I’m also a hobby photog. Lightroom and Photoshop. I’ve tried Darktable and GIMP on Windows before. As much as I complain about Adobe, they’re still miles ahead of the OSS alternatives.
