I have windows for the few games I can't play. I use Linux for all my work, play, everything really. You should also google search 'Linux photo editor that works with. See if any info on that page will help you out with PS. If you want to use photoshop and lightroom I completely understand why. Hope that helps with that.Īs for photo editing there are lots of applications to try more than Dark and GIMP. There should be an F# key you press to get to a boot menu and choose your USB. In any sense you should check boot order. I'm not completely familiar with how UEFI works as I have only used it on one machine I have and it acts no different than my other machines. In your bios you should check boot order. I was going to keep Windows on my HyperX drive and put Ubuntu on the 840 EVO. I've tried all the secure boot and UEFI combinations I could. What happens is I try to boot to my USB drive with the ubuntu installer on it (which I just used to install it on my Dell XPS 12) and it just goes black after the ubuntu splash screen and never loads. My rigs specs are i7 5930k, 980, 16gb ram, MSI xpower x99 mobo, 250gb hyperX m.2, 240gb 840 EVO, and a bunch of 1TB drives. My plan was to install it on my SSD (samsung 840 EVO).

I should also note that I have tried to install Ubuntu onto my main desktop rig. I like to copy paste myself and organize everything myself. Darktable does an okay job I guess but I've always hated the whole import and export workflow crap that lightroom and darkroom does.

I have tried to use gimp and darktable and many other supposed RAW supporting programs, but nothing really supports my Sony A7R (.ARW) RAW files. I have gotten an older version of photoshop (CS6) to work in ubuntu 14.04 but I cannot get CC or any of the filters to work mostly because I can't really run the cracks for them. I am so used to these programs it is so hard to switch. Has anyone actually achieved this? The only thing holding me back on completely switching to linux is Photoshop CC with the Nik suite and VSCO and some other filters, and sometimes lightroom and sometimes photomatix.
