From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

always has been. the one complaint ive always heard for linux is that it didnt run games and photoshop.

most games run now, and photoshop is workable on wine if you are not a professional.

I need you to understand 98% of windows users (and computer users in general) don't need or use photoshop and advanced photo editing

This isn't about being fancy with Photoshop layering together bracketed photos - modern flagship smartphones all shoot direct in HDR. Basic edits in stuff like Apple Photos on the Mac or Google Photos take this into account.

Again: According to Adobe itself, 98% of computer users don't use photoshop AT ALL. That includes windows users. It's a problem only a few people have.

I literally said it has nothing to do with Photoshop - if you shoot a photo on your iPhone or Google Pixel it shoots in HDR, and then you just use the built-in editor on your PHONE, it will edit in HDR. Linux is worse than Pixel and iOS stock photo apps at photo editing. I don't know why you're obsessed with Photoshop.
