Imagine your livelihood depending on adobe, how do you take yourself seriously?
Pro retoucher here. Guess I'm just a silly goose them.
I mean you're not a 'pro retoucher' if you require adobe to do your job, you're simply an adobe user.
I mean that makes absolutely no sense at all. It's what the professionals use for good reason.
Popularity alone doesn't make it good (see ms windows) and yet it is still what professionals use because it's popular.
Yeah, what makes it good is the unparalelled feature set, which is also why the pros use it.
Going to be honest here
Windows is good for general professional use. Linux is absolutely terrible. MacOS is also decent.
Professionals use windows because everyone knows how it functions, it has robust and supported user management and Microsoft provides significant enterprise support to companies using their operating system.
Linux only has some of those features, they’re often half-assed or unsupported, and there’s no central authority for help.
It’s fine for personal machines, but I absolutely disagree that the only thing windows has going for it is popularity.
What makes Linux terrible in your eyes?
Professional programmers use Linux too.
Windows is extremely unstable compared to my Linux experience. (Unless it no longer bsods regularly) I have had two kernel panics on my Linux installation total. (For comparison the Windows laptop I used to own crashed multiple times a month)
Also I was thinking more of individuals doing work rather than in a large environment, so that might make a difference though the little management software I've seen for Windows was pretty disappointing.
