PhotographySoftware Compatibility & Drivers4HighPhotographer$ implied
A photographer is forced to dual-boot Windows solely to run Adobe Lightroom because it doesn't run reliably on Linux, preventing a full switch to Linux.
Existing solutions fail because Adobe Lightroom does not officially support Linux, and running it through Wine requires extensive manual tweaking and still lacks full functionality (e.g., HDR editing).
