From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Welcome!
For a while now Linux has been better at most personal computing things except gaming. And for server uses an even longer time.
There are some specific hardware/software situations where you'll need Windows but it's unlikely to happen at home. Unless you have very peculiar hobbies.
Or you take your photography a bit too seriously! Good noise reduction software is next to impossible to do on Linux. It's the only reason I have a windows box in my house
This means you can’t be a professional and use Linux lol which is a big bummer! I hate Adobe but nobody is even remotely trying to keep up with Photoshop at this point and it’s very disappointing
Not quite. I'm talking about high ISO images. Most of my photos are not high ISO, so most of my photos don't need this.
For a professional, they generally don't shoot in high ISO, because it degrades the image quality. They use external lighting, flashes, reflectors, fast lenses etc, anything and everything they can, to avoid shooting high ISO. So a pro, on a pro shoot, won't need dedicated noise reduction software, and can use the profiles built in to apps like darktable
I am a cinematographer I know what ISO and flashes are lol the problem is not just noise removal tools.
