Has anyone come up with a way to run PL on Linux with decent performance?

[Egregius ([Greg] (Micro 4/3 + Win11))]

Reports of Windows 11 and Mac problems are to be taken seriously. I, too, am aghast at the constant reports I see about Windows features breaking with updates, for example. However, not everyone experiences the problems. I haven’t had any issues at all (affecting PhotoLab or day-to-day use) with Win 11 on three different computers. And I generally keep everything up-to-date. Similarly, Joanna has said of Mac, “it just works” while others might not agree…

PhotoLab on Linux?

Just as an aside, and not to pick a fight or anything, but I would say the same thing of Windows 10 and 11, having started using them 5-ish years ago largely because of limited choices for Apple hardware and the rate at which DxO drops support for macOS versions. I used Macs for a long time before that (and NeXT before that even), but I’ve found Windows to be no more trouble than Mac, and certainly not the nightmare I remember Windows 95 being on a work computer long ago. Windows is less in my…

Unfortunately, that recent topic produced almost no discussion about running DxO software from Linux. Instead, posts focused on getting along with Win and Mac.

This next topic is more relevant to your inquiry about PhotoLab-on-Linux performance:

Running PL in virtualbox uner Linux?

Hi, anyone tried this yet? PL is literally my last application that requires a Windows underlayment. Everything else I do runs natively on Linux (I use Rocky). Biggest question is; Will PL in virtualbox properly identify the host GPU and use it? Other issues like filesystem support, are manageable for me. Thanks!!

I hope you get a good response here!
