[...] most importantly I have a feeling your hardline choice of OS is your real problem, and it is distracting you from paying attention to improving your photography.

...and having to think about how to maneuver around the arcane mechanics of an OS to process digital images rather than the mechanics of the style and subjects of our photography is an impediment & distraction.

What "archane mechanics" do you suppose one has to maneuver inorder to process images. Clicking an icon is way easier with osx I take it?

nospam
certainly easier than writing and debugging a script to process images, such as what floyd suggests.

That was not what I suggested though, and the idiocy of thinking it is clouds your ability to ever become really productive.

i'm quite productive.

graphics professionals who are paid to create and retouch images and can't fuck around don't choose linux. time is money. they need to use the best and most productive tools, or they can't compete with other professionals who do.

that's why they overwhelmingly choose adobe products.

I suggested creating tools that can do what you need, rather than merely being able to select from a list of generic tools. You want to develop your workflow around the available tools, I want to develop the tools around my workflow.

they're not generic and you don't have to change your workflow either.

although based on what you've said so far, you might want to consider it. it's really fucked up.

See the difference? In the end the more highly developed and specialized tool set is what makes the difference.

except that those more highly developed tools exist on mac and windows systems because that's where the vast majority of developers are and where the best and smartest developers are.

there's no money in linux software and people need to eat, which is why the more capable apps are on mac/win and only mac/win.
