Apple has a memory problem and we’re all paying for it::Apple still sells expensive “Pro” computers with just 8GB of RAM and charges a fortune for more.

    The correct way to use Windows is to install Linux and run Windows on QEMU when you actually feel like you need to use Windows.

      Problem: the software I primarily use under Windows are

      • Photoshop • A 20 year old negative scanner software • Games

      The latter is less of a problem nowadays, however, I‘d like to use HDR in supported titles and Linux HDR support wasn’t really a thing yet, last time I checked…

      Same with macOS, I primarily use proprietary software that doesn’t have a Linux version, nor decent Linux alternatives

        And Photoshop in QEMU runs better than Photoshop on Windows… Don’t ask me how that works, I don’t know either, maybe MicroSoft can explain this one.

          Doesn’t solve the negative scanner and HDR issues though… The scanner has a solution, in theory, however I’m not ready to spend 100€ on scanner software for Linux, when the 20 y/o free software works just fine…
