Thank you for the useless opinion that adds nothing. Congrats

And I can’t game on Apple. A mac is a useless brick for the remaining 50% of what I do on a computer.

Adobe and ease of use

I need Adobe, specifically Lightroom, because there’s no alternative. I can’t just stop using it as a semi-professional photographer (I make money from it, just not a ton).

Darktable doesn’t handle large libraries well and also is missing features such as AI remove and integration with photoshop for splitting photos up for social media posts.

Generally these computer systems do access control, patient charting, intake management and most other critical functions, just like the rest of the world.

Blood banks and controlled medicines are likely gated behind access controlled doors, and without either it could cause major impacts to the ability to save lives

Linux is still not viable for creative work, office work or competitive gaming, 3 of the most important uses of computers.

I’d love to see Linux be more widespread, but until I can play any game, use my required abobe products and run Microsoft office it’s pretty much a useless operating system. Open source alternatives don’t exist for many uses, or if they do they’re a significantly worse experience

At that price I’d honestly just get a MacBook. I know there’s a lot of Apple hate here, but they make phenomenal laptops.

I probably also wouldn’t ever upgrade my laptop, so framework probably isn’t for me anyways.
