F this noise dudes. Leave windows while you can.

I have to use Adobe and a bunch of plugins for work, the second that shit runs well on Linux I'm ooouuuuttttt.

Windows can suck a fat one.

I virtualize windows for certain apps like Wendell does at level1techs. You can use Chris Titus windows utility to make a microwin11 image for your VM and install Adobe into there. This is a power user solution.

Imo the Mac is technically cheaper than it's ever been and a great alternative for a second PC.

Do you have a second graphics card for the VM?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Not yet. I'm just using RDP ATM. I'm thinking about trying out a small Intel arc GPU and moving over to looking glass.

I'm surprised they didn't just update it

Im guessing if your pc isn't good enough to fully run the program it would be slow as shit or something, and people would have a bad impression of it.

So, you know, lets plaster ads for it all your computer instead. That'll make a great impression!

it straight out won't install and/or work but does not properly keep track so tries again and again and rolls back again and again.

That didn't stop them from making their God awful searchIndexer default to scanning all the disks way too regularly back then, including C:, even if it was the slowest laptop HDD on earth

I would be so pissed. Well, I'm already pissed, but currently and groaning and annoyed levels, not throw laptop against the wall.
