Thank you. I will look into this option.
Thanks. This is an option I will consider.You could flash your machine to a 5,1 which would allow 10.12.6 and above
It is a bit slower here too but the difference is maybe 3 seconds...I'm experiencing a painfully slow start up in comparison with v.11. Anyone else experiencing this?
Does v.12 needs to rebuild all previews?
No, and I would not expect support until/unless Linux becomes a significant chunk of their potential user base.Does it support Linux yet?
Your comments on the Apple situation far more eloquently states my issues with Apple as a workstation candidate than I could.No, and I would not expect support until/unless Linux becomes a significant chunk of their potential user base.
The stats I find say Linux is used on less than 2% of desktop/laptop computers. I suspect most of that 2% are using Linux for a reason unrelated to photography. Obviously Linux is much more common in a corporate server environment, but that's unrelated to C1 use.
Apple really has left a hole in the product line for a long time now. The Silver Mac Pro was (is) wonderful but is quite legacy at this point. The black Mac Pro is sporting last-gen hardware (particularly the GPU which were cutting-edge in 2013) but a very next-gen price point. The new Mac Mini with a good eGPU should punch well above its weight/size/cost, but is not, in my opinion, a direct replacement for a true pro tower.
Apple has said they'll have something completely new in 2019, and that they want to return to modularity and upgradeability on this next-gen pro tower. At DT we're ready to buy four the day they are released, and won't be buying any new Mac hardware (unless absolutely forced to) until then.
So it's kind of a holding pattern in the mac world, unless your budget is under $3k in which case one of the current laptops or Mac Mini is probably the way to go.
I agree that some demand as there, but it is quite small IMHO. The video gaming crowd =\= the imaging community. If Adobe has gotten by without supporting Linux for this long i doubt Phase One are even considering it. Other than purpose built high end compositing/graphics/editing stations (where the OS is not even really exposed to the user) Linux has never been a popular choice in the imaging community.All that said, I fully respect it is Phase Ones decision to offer a Linux port or not, but I also reserve the right to periodically pester them about it. If no one asks, there is "no demand" and it will never happen, even if that demand does actually exist.
