he is a photographer and needs to work raw photo images and if there> exists OSS video drivers sufficient to do this work, I have not seen them. Have you /tried/ to see any in the past year? 3 years? 6 years? Seems to me there should have been enough software and hardware improvement over time to make up any difference in whatever the best for still images was when you bought your GTS 450 for FOSS and/or newer other GPUs to handle as well now.
I installed Darktable here on 15.1 and/or 15.0 on an iMac, but so far I haven't managed to remember to get my sister to try it. If this thread had started yesterday it could have happened, as she was here, working. She's been a pro photographer more than 40 years, but still uses Win7, which I'd /really/ like to get her off of, on a Retina Macbook, for Photoshop. I lent her my Mamiya 645 1000S over 30 years ago and never got it back. She wore it out, then went to digital. For what I watch her do I find it hard to imagine FOSS incapable of handling acceptably after so many iterations of its existence. They're only still images (TIFF?), not 4K video. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!
