I do some photography as a hobby and I’m still reliant on some closed source editing software to make things easier. Tools like GIMP are capable but it saves a lot of time when the software deals with a lot of the decisions for me.
I’m otherwise almost entirely on Linux given Windows constant badgering to enable “Windows Backup” and upload everything to the cloud.
I bought an M2 Mac Mini from a family member that was looking to upgrade and have now migrated my photo editing setup to it.
I’m also starting to use it for more sensitive tasks, like finance, since it’s generally more secure than Linux.
It’s been a journey getting used to the interface differences and I’m still in the process of migrating all the files and getting multiple backups set up but it’s turned into a real workhorse for anything other than gaming.
