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.
Based on 100% disk usage, you probably use HDD (Check performance section in Task manager to see disk model to confirm that). Windows performance on HDD is awful since around Windows 8. SSD is pretty much a requirement for Windows, otherwise you will have terrible experience.
Disco go burr
Your computer right now
That’s at least 40% Red. Op’s computer is 0% Red.
Do you have to ruin everything?
Impossible, their username is joyjoy!
Reasons why Macromedia is superior
Disco? At 100%? Your PC likes to party, dang
Looks kind of like the computer has run out of RAM and is trying to use its swap file to make up for it.
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.
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.
Honestly just use whatever PDF editor you feel like. It really doesn’t matter unless someone tries to use Adobe.
Send that picture to your manager, then complain frequently until they give you an SSD
And some ram ffs.
I fucking hate Adobe.
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.
Gotta admit it’s a really big file, like half a gigabyte. Although a moth ago this wasn’t a big problem.
Currently Inkscape seems to me to be a good alternative, with each update the thing only gets better, contrary to Adobe…
Are you stuck using an old spinny drive or what? If that’s an SSD, wtf is adobe doing?
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.
That it exactly the department that should be spoiled with high spec equipment.
In other countries, maybe. But not in Mi Venezuela Querida ❤️🇻🇪
Venezuela is under US sanctions and lacks trust by people international so that makes sense. You probably will need to make do.
WeChat was the first thing I noticed
Mandatory use for internal company communication.
WeChat?
I can’t see how that could go wrong
I really don’t know why my Chinese bosses use WeChat, with the bad reputation it has in the West. I deduce three possibilities:
- they don’t know
- They don’t care
- They are more confident that (possibly) they are being spied on by their home country government than by Meta and the US.
WeChat is Chinese so it makes sense. I would be careful working for Chinese or other foreign companies as there is a high chance of human rights abuse and low chance of human trafficking.
I 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.
It’s not OP’s fault the company gives them a good ol’ spinning disk to work with.
Could it be the scratch disk that’s working on overdrive?
I also have to deal with spinning rust at work and working with large programs (Visual Studio in my case), but I don’t blame the modern large software for not running well on 1990s hardware.
