![]() Second : the GPU capabilities are very poor (intel hd graphics with only 1 giga byte of video RAM) I have bougth a 2800 $ macbook pro running High Sierra ( 64 bit bla bla bla ) because my company was working on macs.įirst : i was unable to re-install DXO-pro 9 on it … it crashes every time … never runs … I was using DXO PRO 9 on a Yosemite Mac mini. ![]() I understand the “size market” argument … that could justify no linux version There would have to be a really compelling reason to do so. I am pretty confident it would not be worth the considerable time, effort and redistribution of DXO’s limited resources to port the application to that platform. At least for me personally DxO is almost the only thing making me still keep a windows system on a disk.Īs I suggested earlier, regardless of the growth of Linux use that you see, the potential number of DXO users on Linux compared to the potential and actual user base on Windows and iOS would probably be minuscule. Ok, I’m not using the adobe products, I just read that the creative cloud price recently was hiked, but as you say the PS+LR might still be the same, and I guess for most that is (more than) enough.īut nevertheless, from what I’m seeing, Linux becoming more user-friendly and working better “out-of-the-box” and to me it seems more people are migrating and staying while a few years ago they would try and return, but I haven’t looked for any proof, just a feeling from the talk on forums. ![]() net core, which runs on linux so it might not be that far-fetched). net and Microsoft is working hard on the next major. If wine-support is achieved, I don’t think a docker/snap should be far away so almost “anyone” could install DXO on linux, but I understand there’s still a huge gap from this to officially support it (QA nightmare if using wine etc…) so it would still be unofficial, but could attract some people, and if slowly working in that direction become a major player on linux over time. net 4.72), but no cigar, and I can’t tell if what’s left is a lot of work or just some detail they could easily fix. I have tried and gotten it to install and a bit into the program start (using winetricks for. ![]() Linux-users are perhaps usually more computer-crafty so if it’s a simple fix, it may be worth it and result in a few more sales. This together with Adobe increasing prices again and again, drives more people to other alternatives, and many abandon windows too for different reasons, so while I agree with your arguments, maybe it’s not quite as true as it was a few years ago?Īnother semi-aproach could be to at least implement and document a not-officially-supported way to run DXO in wine. I’d say they’re not at all!ĭXO is much better in this aspect with custom palettes and the presets etc, so I’d say there is a tangible difference for pros that need to process a lot of photos in a fixed amount of time - there is no viable linux alternative for that, so at least for me after having tried the Linux alternatives you mention, the productivity with DXO is much higher for similar results. While Darktable and Rawtherapee are free and capable, the big difference is how oriented they are towards productivity. And, in the meantime the developers would be redirecting their efforts from updating and enhancing the Mac and Windows versions for the vast majority of their users so that a few users like yourself could have what we have on a different platform, If you want DXO PhotoLab badly enough to beg for it, perhaps you should reevaluate your stance towards iOS and Windows 10. The number of users of DXO who use Linux as their platform would probably be minimal but, the effort to create a stable version of PhotoLab to run on it would be huge. Sounds like, for you, the operating system is more important than the programs that run on it. I understand a certain frustration with both Windows and iOS, but you are voluntarily cutting yourself off from thousands of great applications that run on those platforms and don’t run on Linux. This is the only way … i am moving to linux and will never come backĪnd I would enjoy so much meeting you again in this new world … I Beg you on my knees to make all your softwares Linux compliant ! Because Apple sucks so much now … i am not going to pay so much money for such an ordinary hardware … any more…īecause Windows 10 sucks so much now … (everything a software should never be)
