This is not my PC, it's my work PC (which is worse). If it were up to me, I would do everything with FOSS, but it is mandatory to use Adobe, which has been getting worse day after day.
The computer is not the best, but it runs Inkscape and Krita smoothly. Adobe is fucking bloatware.
yeah, I know how much you have or what your (OP's) computer is. I had an older laptop with 12GB of RAM, which was not enough for all the applications we had to do. I asked my boss for more and he asked other people how much they had. Turns out the laptop had 4 RAM slots so I got like 44GB of RAM or something. It's worth asking though. Send your boss this screenshot and tell him what's up. You can probably get a RAM upgrade or a different laptop.
Yeah, OP is over here with like 4GB of RAM, wondering why their drive is getting hit so hard. It’s cuz you’re totally out of RAM, and the OS is using the disc instead.
My firm just managed to sell switching to Kofax/PowerPDF from Adobe for PDF editing. I can only hope more companies follow suit! Adobe will change nothing until they feel people's frustrations in their bottom line.
How big is the file u working on? And what alternative FOSS program would u rather be working on. I haven't looked into FOSS alternatives to illustrator in a while.
I think it is an old HDD. In my office new equipment is not abundant, only the design department, to which I belong and which is not so big, has this kind of problems.
have no idea what's wrong in this picture. Software using some disk and memory? Oh noes.
Nononono, Software using ALL disk and TOO MUCH memory. This is as if it takes all the energy and resources of your entire body to move one hand, so the rest of your body goes into a coma, you become blind, deaf, mute, your heart races and you can't think straight until your hand stops moving.
If 37MB/s is 100% of your disk then it's your disk's fault. That's not even 5% of a modern solid state disk. That's also not a lot of memory for modern intensive programs such as you're using.
