I agree, Paul. That's why as a photographer, I use a Mac for all my computing needs.
I have tried to run Linux as a desktop machine and it's a huge productivity killer and "world of hurt". I spent more time tweaking and twiddling things and trying to find out why stuff I took for granted in a supported environment just didn't work. Like colour management -- whoa, Nelly! The smallest possible things can waste days or even weeks to make work. What busy photographer has time for that? Even Windows is a better solution. <ducks> :) On Sat, May 27, 2017 at 3:17 PM, Paul Stenquist <pnstenqu...@mac.com> wrote: > The only way I'd get a Linux laptop would be if they were giving them away. > Why deal with the below outlined difficulties.
