aww, HUGS to you!

seek help

edit: oh, it’s a hexbear troll…

no clue what you’re talking about… you seem to be imagining things

sorry for the unintentional misdirect!

Brooklyn, baby!

I was responding to the weather thing, not calling out my location, lol ツ

fwiw, it’s been unusually rainy here lately

uh oh, your hands are shaking with rage & spittle is getting all over your phone. i’d better block you for your own mental health. enjoy your heart attack at 30

wow, you saw an autocomplete typo and went right of the rails. if this is what you fantasize about, I’m clearly not that one with precarious mental health, lol.

edit: I fixed the typo since it triggered you so badly. hope you feel better soon!

at least you have the decency to be ashamed of your pitiful remark btw. shape up

seeing things that aren’t there isn’t healthy, dude. consult a physician. although I am supposed you know what “shame” is. should we call that growth?

very mature dude

says the guy who’s been throwing a little-by tantrum for the past couple of hours.

“you beat your wife hehehe”

of all the things I actually did say, you just can’t control yourself and the compulsive lying… fascinating.

how many keyboards have you broken today? this week? this month? game controllers? computer mice? how smashed-up is your phone?

I’d ask about physically abusing spouses, but hehehe… who would ever get near a toxic rage monster like you? at least others are probably safe!

you’re clearly going through some serious emotional stuff, and it’s sad to watch.

yawn

I feel bad for you that this is how you have to spend your time, so full of anger and hate.

sad

being in your head sounds scary and sad.

interesting rationalization for your toxic, rage-bait ramblings. I recommend you consult a medical professional, as they would be better-equipped to help you with your… problems…

best of luck!

I look forward to seeing you develop an inferiority complex around my posts as well

how sad. it’s been 2 weeks, and you let something like this still bother you. clearly, I’m not the one with the “complex"

macOS is actually pretty awesome. lots of FOSS people don’t like it simply because of Apple and because of how Apple tends to be a bit overbearing when hit comes to how it likes to do things. macOS has limited customizability, for example, which is something linux users like to go bonkers with. I get it. but there are still ways to do what you want regardless. lots of hacks and stuff.

But it’s the most widely-used and most commercially-successful distribution of UNIX in the consumer space, and the only one still around in any meaningful way. Apple managed to bring UNIX to the masses and to scale it from smartwatches to servers where others failed for decades, all in one, unified ecosystem of software and hardware products. Yes, Apple’s control over that ecosystem is too much for some to bear on philosophical grounds, but those objections usually turn out to be mostly symbolic when put to practical tests.

The other main objection is that Apple products tend to be in the “premium” range of pricing and are “anti-consumer” in that they’re difficult or impossible to repair or upgrade. Those are valid criticisms, however they affect a very tiny sector of users, so make what you will of that.

Note: Linux, currently, cannot run on Macs with Apple Silicon processors. great efforts are underway to make linux compatible with the processor, and AFAIK, the linux kernel itself runs on the AS processors, but the project hasn’t gotten much farther than that, being stuck on untangling the display adapter or something. The effort is, however, ongoing and should, hopefully soon, see a fully-compatible AS linux kernel with compatible AS linux builds n the near future.

True! I am still going to college and the school I will be transferring to requires a MacBook so I have to get one anyway.

I’m pretty sure you’ll like it, a hell of a lot more that Winblows anyway. like I said, macOS is UNIX (which linux was made to emulate), so they’re interoperable and have very similar architectures under the hood. macOS is defiantly different in its Apple-y ways, but still plays very nice with linux systems and also supports many linux software ports. There’s also a macOS command-line package manager called Homebrew that’s used to distribute many of these crossover software packages.

Does Mac OS have the same issues as Windows where settings change each update?

NO! macOS updates very rarely (if ever) break things, even with the legendarily persnickety Adobe apps, mostly because Adobe apps don’t have to hack shit in order to run on macOS, because macOS isn’t a dumpster fire of an OS like windows is.

Wine will suck ass with Premier, if it works at all. There ARE reasonable alternatives to use in Linux, unlike with PS or Illustrator.

PS in Linux is… ok…. depending on what you’re doing with it. if it’s basic stuff, you’ll get by. start delving into big boy stuff, and it struggles. Illustrator… I doubt it. I’d stick with a VM for both for major workloads until you really need bare-metal performance. This is something you will have to feel out for yourself.

fwiw, running photoshop through a VM would be pretty easy and pretty quick to setup with very little (if any) troubleshooting required, and it’s unlikely that updates would break stuff. I’ve done it many, many times.

The real problem is getting good performance out of it. Now, I don’t know OP’s specific needs or what specific Adobe apps he’s using. if it’s just Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, he’s gonna be fine. if he’s got enough memory and he’s running the VM by itself, he shouldn’t notice much of any performance degradation until he’s got some gigantic files open in PS and/or he’s juggling a bunch of files between PS and Illustrator.

Now, if he’s trying to run AfterEffects or Premier, he could run into more serious performance issues and would definitely need to dual-boot if he wants to render anything. But he may not be using those apps.

Running those apps through Wine? THAT is the massive PitA that can take days to configure and troubleshoot and where an update can break anything— but it runs at native speed. Using a VM is pretty simple… just slower.
