One of the most difficult parts of my transition to #linux still revolves around creative tasks.

Background: former professional musician/photographer/videographer, now cloud software engineer.

I daily drive a flavor of @fedora. For all of my development projects, and for day to day tasks, it works fantastic, and to be fair, these days, that covers 80% of my computer usage.

But I do still want to do some of my creative activities when the mood strikes.

This is something that a lot of Linux enthusiasts don't want to hear, but #macos is still, far and away, a better experience when doing #photography, #musicproduction or #videoediting. It is frictionless and well-integrated across devices, which is exactly what you want when you're in the mood to do a project.

Now, I'll own my bias here: at least 30-40% of this feeling is *also* due to familiarity. I was a MacOS power user for almost 20 years. I'm used to it's workflow, and I know exactly how to execute what I want.

For example: for daily software development tasks, I'm actually more comfortable in Linux than MacOS, very a small margin. It's because I've been using it so much every day, and now my familiarity for those apps is high.

But the rest? It's legitimately smoother.

This morning, my struggle is with my #raw photo workflow.

I take pictures with my phone, my #fuji #xt4, and my #gopro. For the RAW photos on the Fuji, I do some editing to get the look that I want.

I also want to start self hosting, and I want to retain my RAW edits, without making double storage of RAW + edited .jpeg export.

To accomplish this using Linux is 100% possible...but will absolutely require some compromises in different areas of my preferred workflow...none of them really satisfying.

My point is, it has the net effect of adding this background mental friction to doing creative stuff that I normally enjoy.

That's a very real downside to this journey, that I'm still working through.

Friedrichstraße, #berlin - nicht viel dazu zusagen, war froh, dass meine #fuji #xt4 ein Klappdisplay hat - bin ja so schon fast nicht mehr aus der Hocke gekommen. ^_^ Habe in #darktable den Kontrast hochgezogen, ein bisserl denoised, geschärft und die Perspektive korrigiert (irgendwann will ich ein Tiltobjektiv). Danke an die Touris hinter mir, die geduldig gewarten haben. Und irgendwann - so träume ich - mache ich das Foto nochmal - mit Stativ und langer Belichtung, mit kleiner Blende, knackscharf. Übrigens, kennt jemand ein Offline-Tool um per KI Bildbeschreibungen zu erstellen? Darf auch Geld kosten. #monochrome #blackandwhite #schwarzweiß #bw
