Nobody should be forced to run Windows!!!

You can always dual-boot if you want to use Linux but need Windows sometimes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

you're not wrong, I just never liked dual-boot.

Double your RAM, and then spin up a VM for windows.

i already have the max ram this laptop can support :c (8gb)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Are you sure? Often RAM support changes after later BIOS updates. And sometimes it’s undocumented but supports more than the specs say.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

it's a limitation of the chipset, this laptop can only take 8gb of ram

also should mention that it's a dual core from 2010... I can't see that ending well ;p

What are you needing windows for? If you don't mind me asking, I managed to get all of my windows softwares and games to work on Linux flawlessly (except for Ms office but I'll get by using Libre office and only office)

I mainly use Photoshop (it runs great on this old thing) and that doesn't run on Linux. I don't use gimp because it lacks features (mainly content aware fill) and it doesn't run as well.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What about Photopea? Have you tried it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've heard of it but never considered it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

You should try it, it's pretty close to PS

Ive been using Photoshop CC6 on my Arch over wine for about 2 years nowand it runs mostly great. Some occasional jank, especially when resizing windows or undocking toolbars, but other than that it works! I think you can even get the later versions working, and its only the installer thats bricked. If you ever wanna try again, I've found best performance running it in Bottles with Soda fork of wine, and the portable version of CC6 from rutracker, the Xpuct release I believe

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

In my experience, wine is super hit or miss, either it works great or it doesn't work at all unfortunately.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yea, it takes some messing around to get working, and sometimes it wont work at all. It does get progressively better with each update though, so its worth trying again once every so often :v

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

it's kinda like reactos :p it works, until it doesn't, and then it breaks catastrophically
