Microsoft simply stopped making an OS and started making a subscription and content delivery platform. When they did that, they lost me as a customer. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mursejoy@lemmy.zip 1 point 1 month ago (1 child) Once I bought a steam deck, I switched to Linux like a year later. Never looking back. I use Mac for Lightroom and the Apple ecosystem stuff. Next thing we will ditch is Xbox. I don’t want to give any money to Microsoft. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] flynnguy@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago (1 child) You should check out DarkTable. There's a mac version so you could try it there but it also runs on Linux. (It's what I use and a decent replacement for Lightroom) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mursejoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago I’ll give it a go.
