Quick question: Is anyone running DxO PhotoLab / ViewPoint / FilmPack on one of the tiny-ized versions of Windows 11?
I’m (still) on Win 10, built a new PC to be fast enough (and with the right graphics card) to make PL v9 (and v8 for that matter) not painfully slow. I opted to install Win 10 Pro on it, mostly because of all the complaints I’ve seen regarding Microsoft siphoning data, trying to ‘agentify’ the OS.
So I can install Win 11 if I decide to, but I’ve been looking at something called a ‘tiny-ifier’* for Win 11 and would love to know if anyone else is running the ‘magic trio’ above on it, what problems you’ve run into.
Yes, Linux people I did try to get the trio working on Linux. I’m moderately technical (20 years writing software on multiple platforms) and found that a huge task, with a small likelihood of success.
And yes Apple people, I’m aware that Apple’s got some really nice hardware, including Apple silicon. I don’t hate Apple; I even worked with Steve Jobs for a bit. I’m just a bit allergic to ‘walled gardens’ .
So ‘tiny’ Windows 11. Anybody?
*A set of scripts to rip out a lot of ‘unnecessary’ modules from W11, but enables security updates. - built so people with PCs that don’t have the resources (mostly a TPM module on the motherboard) can install / use it - but it also gets rid of a lot of what I want to avoid in W11 (although I have to wonder how many of those complaints are about the ‘Home’ version which IMO has always been ‘crippleware’).
