I’ve been using it for a while. Probably at least a month, but I haven’t kept track.
It works well enough that ever since installing I’ve had 0 reason to boot into Windows. I use Lightroom Classic and Jpegmini on it. It can be a little buggy sometimes but overall it works really well. It works well enough that I’m okay with sacrificing GPU acceleration in LR with the convenience Winboat provides
- Mechanite@lemmy.worldtoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your reason for not flipping to Linux?2·5 months ago
I used to dual boot windows just for when I needed to run LR Classic or Photoshop but now I just use winboat which makes them usable in Linux in your desktop environment while under the hood its running through a VM. It works great except not having GPU acceleration hurts, but it was a compromise worth it to me to not have to reboot into and out of windows.

I’ve tried and failed to get adobe ps or lr working through wine, do you have a guide you followed or something I could try?

I recommend dual booting if that’s the only thing holding you up, as long as you keep Linux/windows on separate disks. I am in linux most of the time but I keep windows around just in case I need to use software that doesn’t work with wine/proton. It seems daunting but you’ll start learning how to use Linux as soon as you start using it as your daily driver.

Using windows 11 got me to switch my home PC to Linux at the start of the year so I have them to thank or that. My work PC just got updated from W10 to W11 and so far it’s so much worse than I was expecting, purely based on performance/buginess alone. I have no problems with most the features but it all feels one step forward two steps back when the whole system seems to be much less responsive

I of course have a premium account, but anyway I logged into QBDLX (software for downloading from qobuz) which generates log files that contain everything you need to use Qobuz with strawberry. It’s too bad qbdlx can’t playback, and strawberry can’t download, so I use both

- Mechanite@lemmy.worldtoFuck AI@lemmy.world•Netflix Is Using AI to Upscale a 1980s Sitcom and the Results Are Borderline Horrific3·1 year ago
I watched Daft Punk’s Interstellar 5555 AI remaster when it was in theaters recently. Granted this is an anime, not live action. I think the source footage they used was probably standard definition, but overall I’d say it was a net negative experience. There were time it would look good but when it looks bad, which is often (particularly in the background or on small objects) it’s incredibly distracting
To put it another way, the bad had a bigger impact to me than when it looked good. But then again, this is an anime and is probably pretty low frame rate especially compared to sitcoms which from what I recall probably run around 60p, so it might look better

I’m enjoying it so far, I’m into my third game. It definitely is not without it’s flaws but it definitely scratches the “one more turn” itch for me. I like the new mechanics but what remains to be seen for me is how the replayability will feel compared to 5 & 6
