I was doing that until Adobe decided to start using an API which is not present in 2021 LTSC. So I moved to macOS. Tahoe has its problems but it and the hardware makes a mockery of Windows 11 and PCs generally.
It's still a bit bloaty. It still has telemetry, edge, even tries to sign you in with a Microsoft account. It's not as good as the old ltsb used to be.

Use the opportunity to remove adobe from your life so that you can kill two birds with one stone.
I have no plans to. I like Lightroom and Photoshop and am willing to keep paying for it.
I will note that I have used Darktable extensively. But there isn't a good Photoshop alternative.

My Win 11 Pro install is not "utterly broken" and is actually quite responsive.
What did I do wrong on my 5800X3D w/ 4090?
