    Genuine question, not trying to start a war. For pepole doing photo editnig: are you on Windows, macOS, or Linux, and would u switch? 😅 I'm tempted by Linux Mint because my lapotp feels slow on Windows and I like the idea of controlling updates. But I depend on this machine and can't afford a week of fighting drivers. Tell me your stories. My main worry is the first week, when everything is unfamiliar and I still have deadlines. How did you handle that transition without losing productivity?

    lol same thing happened to me pick an LTS or stable relesae for a machine you depend on. fewer surprises and you can still get newer apps via Flatpak. good luck man!

    hmmmm not sure about that counterpoint to the Flatpak advice: for some workflows the distro packages are better integrated. It depends on the app.
