KDE creates a safe haven for Windows 10 exiles.
In the context of the @Endof10 campaign, we have created a new “for” page, this time “for Windows 10 exiles”:
https://kde.org/for/w10-exiles/
In it we explain how Linux with Plasma can help users escape the deranged cycle of having to buy a new computer every time Microsoft force-upgrades their operating system.
Whe I’m not personally familiar with adobe’s elements organizer, I believe you may want a metadata editor to maintain your sorting and ratings. I use Tiny Media Manager for managing my metadata but it looks like it can’t handle photos, I’ve looked into it a tiny bit and “ExifTool” (exiftool.org) seems to be the same but for image metadata.
I’d recommend copying some of those files already sorted by the adobe suite and check in the windows version of exiftool if it can edit or modify your tags and ratings you’ve applied. If so, the tool is also available Linux and MacOS.
@ArsonButCute thanks, I’ll give it a shot. Last time I tried the hard part was getting the tags out of Adobe, especially if you don’t want the modified metadata date changed.
