In line with many folks' suggestions here, I'm ALL for switching to Linux full time after playing around with a few distros... BUT, I use dxo Photolab for photo editing which doesn't run on Linux, yes, even through wine etc.

Also yes, I know the are a bunch of great Foss alternatives. I've tried them all. Nothing touches the results from my current program unfortunately.

I would be stoked if anyone could enlighten me as to how I could get that working.

Lots of people suggesting VM, but you can also consider dual boot.

I use Linux for everything except for the very few things were I can't (specific games for example). That way you have the best of both worlds.

I even have it set up in different drives and use the MOBO boot menu to choose, so no worries about Windows breaking stuff
