After 30+ years of running Windows installs in our SMB (desktops / servers) its days are now numbered for us due to the huge issues with forced Windows 11 upgrades and the reported changes coming with Windows 12 soon (later 2026?) We will be dumping MS for good at that juncture. For now, it’s either Linux or Mac's.
We are leaning towards the former by a big margin, but NOT if we can't get the main Adobe Apps (Photoshop via Bridge support / Lightroom / Illustrator / Premier to run natively on the Linux kernel or fully supported LKM's. That would be the single biggest catalyst for our SMB to dump Windows for good! We're a group of creators who are looking to get MS out of our lives for good as they are going down the wrong path these days! Without native Adobe support in Linux, then we'd have to jump ship to Mac’s, which is not that big of deal, other than for costs!
