I wonder how much would Adobe benefit from porting its suite to Linux for example. Do a Steam move and pick a fave distro, use some translation layer and bam. I vote for the unholy matrimony of Adobe+Steam to break the stronghold of MS+Apple.

That is pretty much the chicken and egg problem of Linux in regards to Apps and Games.

To me the downsides on installing on pure metal are bigger than running over something like UTM.

On my maxed out M1 Max I have a VM with Ubuntu 22.04. Runs flawless, I can expose IPs, share folders and multitask with macOS. And it runs very well with 10Gb of RAM and 3 CPU's.

Maybe in a few years an outdated mini could be my home server with Linux on bare metal but for work and play I prefer the flexibility of running on a VM.

For my usage I am still heavily dependent on Macs since Adobe suite isn't available for Linux and the alternatives just do not compare. Neither in performance or interoperability. Davinci is a nice alternative to Premiere but Lightroom and Photoshop still reign supreme.

For the rest I am 100% on Linux as well. I used to game on Windows but MS made it such a hassle I just went Linux instead.

If I had one euro for every time The Economist has said that the Euro/EU were wobbly/breaking/etc I could balance Liz Truss'es budget and have money left for some fish'n'chips.

I am try to unify my note taking/planning in one place.

I use Google Sheets and Keep. Sheets because I can dump photos, use formulas, paste links and Keep for jotting down some quick thoughts.

Can anyone recommend something similar? I would like to move everything to the same app where I could sync with my server of choice.

Oh no, not the banks...
