I've been sticking with Linux since then. Used Windows for my gaming PCs when playing Witcher 3. Now I'm done with the game and have nothing but Linux left. My laptop runs Deepin (planning to add Manjero later) while my gaming rig is Ubuntu. I play games like Company of Heroes 2 and lately I've been diving into Star Trek Online every evening after a long workday, using Wine and PlayOnLinux. At school, my only Linux machine handles everything; my gaming setup is left behind. I could manage everything perfectly. Software such as Maple and Matlab have solid Linux versions, and coding feels smoother there. Installing Python modules is just a matter of running apt get install commands. On Windows... I'm not sure, but it probably isn't that straightforward. Ubuntu works well, though it's a bit less stable and my desktop runs slower than lighter distros like Mint, but it's satisfying once everything's up and running. The toughest part is getting started—configuring power settings, themes, and troubleshooting with terminal commands can be frustrating. But after that, the experience becomes smooth and enjoyable.

Linux setups often needed building from source. Keep in mind using make and sudo make install? That was the norm back then. Certain programs are still processed this way, particularly those available on GitHub.

You have the chance to test the program without downloading it; it offers a choice when you start using the USB (based on my observations)

Have you explored Rawtherapee or Digikam?

I also tried Rawtherapee for a short time; it works better for me, though I prefer Photoshop. Since I spend most of the week away from the computer, I don’t use it often.
