What happened with Lightroom? It won’t do anything anymore.

Our take

Lightroom has become increasingly problematic for users, particularly those with capable PCs like a 2018 build featuring 32GB of RAM and a robust gaming GPU. Despite this solid hardware, many encounter severe performance issues, including excessive memory usage and the inability to run other applications simultaneously. Users are frustrated, feeling that Adobe's lack of software optimization forces costly upgrades on paying customers. This situation raises concerns about accessibility for many, as not everyone can afford high-end setups.

Context:

I have a PC built in 2018 with a 32gb RAM and use a gaming GPU to help with graphics. Never have so had a problems with anything OTHER than adobe products to. If I edit ANY photos, I cannot have anything else open. Not a browser, not a file folder, not even discord (even If im not using it). In task manager, it shows I am using 24gb of RAM just by opening the program. I know my PC isnt top notch anymore but 32 GB of RAM, an 8 core gaming CPU, with a GPU assisting all this this 8GB of RAM on that should be enough to edit a photo. Telling your paying customers to upgrade their PC to a $5k+ one just because you dont want to optimize your software to work is lazy AF.

I cant be the only one having this issue. Most people I know dont even have 32GB of RAM to work with. Im even getting errors of "not enough memory". Rant over, any legit alternative suggestions will be awesome.
