This has been my only argument for years for not switching to Linux. I've realized I haven't used Photoshop in more than two years now. I either work on projects where the designers provide me with already cut and ready to use props, or I work with people using Figma.
My only argument now is that my Macbook is still working and I don't "have" to spend 2k on a Thinkpad. :)
- twic 7y agoI run Fedora on a 2011 MacBook Pro. There was a bit of messing around to get graphics working, and sometimes the trackpad driver crashes, but other than that, it works perfectly.
- cairo_x 7y agoSweet jesus, don't get a thinkpad after having used a macbook. They are built of soft, grease-absorbing cheap plastic. People say 'oh, but thinkpads are so rebuildable'. Yeah. Because they degrade easily and are made of such cheap materials, they have to be. I bought a second hand dell laptop. Five years later bought a brand new thinkpad. Which do you think had to be repaired, and even with new parts still looks more worn out?
- robertoandred 7y agoYou’re downvoted but you’re right. The trackpad is garbage, the overall build is garbage, screens are weird resolutions...
- fbnlsr 7y agoYou're the first one to tell me not to get a Thinkpad. I've heard nothing but great things about them.
- hellozee 7y agoThe newer thinkpads are meh, compared to what the older ones were
- jsf01 7y agoI added Arch to my 2012 MacBook after it started feeling frustratingly sluggish. So you don’t need to wait to buy a new machine just to switch to Linux. There’s also the option to run it in a vm with some shared folders with your MacBook. You can basically live within the vm full time and switch out of it for photoshop.
