I should’ve used it sooner rather than last year when they announced AI integration to Windows. Every peripheral I tried is just worked without needing to install drivers, and it works better and faster than on Windows, just like today when I tried to use my brother’s 3D printer expecting disappointment, but no, it just connected and was ready to print right away (I use Ultimaker Cura), whereas on my brother’s Windows computer I have to wait like 20 seconds; sometimes I have to disconnect and reconnect it again for it to see and ready to use. Lastly, for those who are wondering, I use Vanilla Arch (btw), and sorry for bad English.
Dedicated noise reduction software like Topaz and DxO rely on the GPU. And because of that, they don’t work on Wine or VMs (unless you have a dedicated GPU and can get GPU passthrough functioning).
I use darktable and digikam for every other step of my workflow, but that one step, I just can’t do with Linux
Thank you for making me understand :)
Never heard of DxO or topaz, but I am also no photographer, so it doesn’t really surprise me. I wonder if something like proton could be used to easily make give you gpu support.
I had high hopes that I could make them work that way, but no luck :\
About upscayl u maybe heard https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl
and denoise https://github.com/royerlab/aydin
Upscayl isn’t much use to me, because I don’t need upscaling, only noise reduction.
Aydin appears to only work on PNG files, not my RAW files
