For *me*, the answer is yes.

## Updates

I've been asked several questions by email, IRC, twitter and in the [HN thread] about this post, here are some answers in a random order.

### What is the exact model of your laptop?

Lenovo X1 Carbon 3rd Gen.

### Do you have issues with acpi/sleep?

No.

### How's battery life?

Obviously worse than a MacBook (where controlled hardware & drivers are heavily optimized for that purpose), but not that bad tbh. I can work for max 5 hours straight, though if I start compiling stuff (hello gecko) it gets *really* bad.

### Does the fingerprint reader work out of the box?

No, I tried to use [Fingerprint-GUI] but it was so unstable that I removed it. I'm easy typing passphrases anyway.

### Did you try Krita? It's a mix between Photoshop and Paint

That sounds rather ambitious, and I didn't feel like installing all these KDE/Qt packages for trying it out. From the captures I could find online, it looks like a great option though.

### There's a Linux version of [f.lux]!

Yeah. Also I've learned that f.lux was inspired by Redshift and not the other way around. Point taken, thanks.

### DarkTable doesn't do X, Y and Z while Lightroom does

DarkTable is free. Also, its keystones-based perspective correction module is much better than anything I could find for LightRoom.

But yeah, overall LightRoom is way ahead, and if Adobe was kind enough to port it to Linux I'd buy and use it in a heartbeat.

### DarkTable can crop and scale images too

Do you often fire DarkTable to edit a screenshot?

### Arch is so much better

Good for you! Diversity is nice.

### You said you contributed to a book on Ubuntu, you're biased towards Apple

Haha, nice try.

### What GTK/unity theme are you using?

I'm using [Vivacious Dark] in its *graphite* variant.

### What side launcher are you using in the screenshots?

It's the standard Unity one with the [icon borders removed](http://askubuntu.com/a/85366/470966).
