A couple of nights ago after signing off I took the plunge and Turned 'ON' my new PC... And it Worked, :D first time, much to my surprise. :D 


I installed the Zorin Operating System & all was Joyful and Happy, For a short time... 

I've spent the following day Successfully learning how to partition the two drives, and all evening attempting to make my Wacom Cintiq functional, but ultimately failing in that pursuit. :(:(:(


...So I decided to try 'Linux Mint' and once again all was Wonderful & Joyful, For a Short Time... That is until I attempted to install Photoshop and then things became super messy!

Since my last attempt to install photoshop, my System now keeps crashing and freezing. And as much as it pains me to say, if I cannot sort out this issue, then tomorrow I will likely go the direction of Windows 10. :(:(:( Which is a genuine shame, as from my very short time with these 2 linux systems, I've really enjoyed & loved their Quick & Lean simplicity, customization & the spirit of the software and community support.


It genuinely frustrates me I will very likely end up having to buy the Windows 10 OS, (an OS I really don't want), just so the 1 Main program I use, can run on it. :-s

how about a video of you screaming at your computer

I'd suggest giving Ubuntu 19.10 a try before you throw in the towel. 19.10 has some significant fixes around video drivers which are often the biggest issues with Linux desktops.

There's been no screaming, although I have been slumped in despair once or twice throughout the last 3-4 days.

I've managed to somehow fandangle photoshop into working, and I'm now trying to make the tablets buttons function suitably, but so far I just haven't been able to gain the 'more refined photoshop user experience'. Regarding Ubuntu, I don't think I really have the ability or know-how to navigate and use it effectively... Zorin was supposed to be the more 'graphical friendly' easier version of ubuntu, and that didn't work out very well. :-s But I've spent 3-4 days trying to sort out my PC's operating system and programs, and a couple of hours ago I finally gave in and purchased Windows 10 (Which should be arriving via post tomorrow, although I actually feel 'dirty' at just the thought of using it). I really do love using the linux OS's so much and I'm seriously considering a dual installation. As well as using a Linux OS on any system I have where I don't have to use a tablet and photoshop. If I didn't need to return to work as quickly as possible, I would have even considered learning Krita.

Zorin is really just Ubuntu with some gnome extensions already installed (it's a little more than that, but not much) so if you found Zorin alright to use, you'll probably find Ubuntu just fine as well. Having said that though, for hardware and software like your table and Adobe, you'll probably better off sticking with Windows. But definitely give a dual boot a go sometime or even try a virtual machine with Ubuntu to see how you like it.

I liked Zorin & I actually ended up really REALLY liking Mint (far more than I thought I would), when Windows 7 updates elapse in January on my laptop, I will 100% be installing a Linux OS on it. :) As for my main Work-Desktop, frustratingly Windows 10 does seem like the only actual choice, especially since I cannot work effectively without the Cintiq or Photoshop. What little photoshop functionality I have with Linux Mint really seems to restrict the memory limitations and the ability to use the program effectively. :( Thank you for the virtual machine suggestion Greg, :) I hadn't considered that.

If you do go with a Gnome based distro, I'd suggest ArcMenu and Dash to Panel are the two extensions that you'll want to go with as they give it that Windows kind of feel. It does look like Cintiq can be setup on Ubuntu and you might want to give GIMP a try sometime. I'm no artist so I can't really say how it compares to Adobe, but it is an alternative that might work for you.
