#2N.B.: the "switch to Windows" is from macOS and not from Linux, just in case anyone was wondering. I think it's very interesting that the availability of Linux on Windows helped the author choose Windows.

#3Looks like he built a really fancy and nice gaming machine. Makes sense to switch to Windows if you are a gamer.

#4Dual 1TB Samsung 960 EVO M.2 SSDs ???
Real men use NVMe PRO :)

#5So, the main reason he switched to a Windows machine was to use the latest/fastest hardware with Adobe Lightroom and Premiere, but then he goes on to say the Lightroom and Premiere don’t take advantage of many core CPUs, the fastest GPUs, fastest SSDs, etc...
And Windows is fine after tweaking and adjusting dozens of settings.
I’ll just stick with a Mac.

#6The first item in the ‘Tweaking Windows’ section is Disable User Account Control. Can someone share a clear explanation of what this means and the nature of the risks involved?

Premiere Pro definitely takes advantage of GPU and CPU very efficiently. Lightroom does not - which is why instead of going for some 18 core i9 7980XE build where it has more cores but a much lower clock per core, i opted for just 6 cores but with a very high clock.

#8Step 1. Be wealthy :P
I am always enamored with the simplicity of one's living space being directly proportional to wealth. I try hard to not have much stuff, but my living options are seemingly always going to be working class style places with pretty much the antithesis of what is apparent in this photo.
Of course the camera lies, and I shouldn't compare my insides to some else's outsides. There's probably a new puppy being paper trained just behind the camera, or a bunch of pocket change and random pens in a pile usually on that desk, but I do lament that I may never have such a simple, clean, and uncluttered living space. The spaces I may ever have will have things like unvaulted ceilings, windowsills, trim, standard door size passages between rooms, probably carpet heh...
I do wonder if such things prevent clarity of thought.

MacOS or Linux also require tweaking to be useful for most people.

I am still shocked Adobe software handles 4k systems so incredibly poorly.
