I got rid of Windows completely two weeks ago. I was tied to them because I thought I can't live without Adobe Lightroom for photo editing. Increasing resentment for the subscription model and a recent increase in price made me re-evaluate this and I am happy I did. Darktable has come a really long way since I last tried to use it (years ago). It's amazing to me to see how good these things have become in the last years.
I am willing to pay for software, but please don't force me into a subscription model or you'll lose me as a customer.
The switch went smooth as butter for me, my system seems to run more stable and fast now, although it definitely helps that I was using WSL for years.
