It depends on perspective and expectations. I'm a macOS and Linux user for 10+ years. From multimedia editing perspective Linux is a little behind, however in photography field there are tools which can provide terrific results. For RAW conversion, RAW therapee is available, which is considered superior to many proprietary converters, demosaicers. While it cannot compete with C1 or LR, there's darktable (and I like its RAW conversion more). I have not tried the HDR tools yet, but I think they're promising. I'm not knowledgable in video editing, and don't work in a color-managed environment, so I'm skipping these. For office applications, Using Office is your choice. I'm using LibreOffice for a long time on Mac and Linux, even for professional situations. It served me well, and serving well. It's also playing fairly well with latest Office formats, at least with the files I encounter. There were times when ATI/AMD support was bad, really bad, hardware damaging bad. I personally experienced some of those and reported directly them to ATI. There were times ATI/AMD literally had no video playback support via official drivers, but they're stories of past. AMD is a company which re-designed its silicon to provide better and more complete Linux support. ATI/AMD is not a company which is ignorant of Linux anymore. |
