Last month I sold my Macbook. Used the money to build a six core linux box that is running Kdenlive to cut video, Ardour to mix and record audio, and Ufraw / Digikam for image editing. At least until Darktable becomes a bit more ready for everyday use.
The big problem I haven’t yet delved into is color calibration on linux. I’ve yet to find a solution for this.
While all of these apps were available under OSX, there were just too many hoops to jump through to get most of them running even remotely well. The exception being Ardour, which is rock solid. When you’re using your mac like a linux box, it’s time to switch to the real thing.
