    In line with many folks’ suggestions here, I’m ALL for switching to Linux full time after playing around with a few distros… BUT, I use dxo Photolab for photo editing which doesn’t run on Linux, yes, even through wine etc.

    Also yes, I know the are a bunch of great Foss alternatives. I’ve tried them all. Nothing touches the results from my current program unfortunately.

    I would be stoked if anyone could enlighten me as to how I could get that working.

      Your best bet is virtualization. I use that for my CAD software, games that dont run under linux and Microsoft office

      This allows me to only use Windows that 10% of the time I need my software and be using linux for all other stuff.

      Only issue is that it requires some effort to get it going and some additional hardware if you want to run both at the same time.
