That is the best hackingtosh build i have ever seen. +1 for not using windows 10
-1 for using Whatsapp.

yes i am ^^ dual boot actually (windows). have to for gaming sometimes. iām not an apple fanboy for any mean. there products are way to expansive and are really hardware limited. but the OS is nice, way closer to unix. it isnāt that hard to pull of actually, you should give it a try.

I hear Telegram is in trouble. They being blocked in russia and Apple forbid them from updating their iOS application.
telegram is a bit of a rebel. but i think there right. Rusia wanted al the user info, telegram sad no. now is rusia mad.
the program is really nicely designed, works great.
end to end encryption.
the ony downside i can find is that your chats are stored on the server.

I used to run an OSX VM in a passthrough setup. I really donāt like the OSX interface, so I donāt have much use for it. Feels like something out of the early 00ās. (and really, it is)
If it werenāt so clunky, outdated and whatnot, Iād absolutely use it.
The only thing I find valuable is either iMovie or the desktop trackpad, which is absolutely wonderful. I just canāt justify spending $150 on a fucking trackpad. (hey other companies, make a decent trackpad)

Not by default, so Iāll pass on it. You have to setup a āsecure chatā or whatever in order for it to be encrypted.

Its all a matter of personal opinion I suppose.
Only thing a can say is that you can customize it.
in my opinion is windows 10 really ugly, all those squares, way to many settings in places where no one will find it.
there are a lot of Linux flavors i like, but office and adobe isnāt supported. (sad thing i know)
yeah, I agree with you there. I only use Windows 10 when I absolutely have to.
I can get all my productivity things (office type stuff, video and photo editing) done in Linux, with comparable performance to adobeās shitty products. If youāre interested in my workflow, I can go more in depth.
I pretty much only use Windows for games.
yes please
First thingās first:
Ryzen 1700, GTX 1070, 32GB 3200.
Iām using KDE as my desktop environment, since Iāve been frustrated with the Gnome stability for a while now. First endeavour with KDE and Iāve got to say, itās really nice.
Iām using DaVinci resolve on Fedora for my composition/grading/mixing work, the V15 beta has full support in Linux without needing any specialized hardware, although an intensity card is nice to have. I just run exports over night since they do take a while. Itās free to use with some limitations, but I forget since I bought it a while back. The important thing is that you have a GPU that supports CUDA or OpenCL, and you have the proper GPU drivers installed for it. Resolve requires gpu acceleration. The learning curve is kinda high, but shouldnāt be too high for someone experienced with Premiere or AE.
For Photo editing, I use DarkTable. If Iām honest, itās definitely not as snappy as photoshop or lightroom, but it gets the job done and has feature parity.
As far as storage goes, I have a couple NFS mounts on my system. They sync up to a fileserver Iām running in my garage. It holds archives and the ingestion folders. I copy working content to my local system (1.5TB of SSD on Btrfs) to get the work done, then when Iām finished, I just export the project into my archives mount. I have a script that runs on my fileserver that automatically ingests (copies and transcodes) content into the appropriate folders when I plug in an SD card or SSD.

I like your plants. It makes your desk feel more like home instead of an office.
