[OM] Linux/Photoshop question

I've pretty much decided that Win 10 is not for me but whatever replaces my Win 7 must run Photoshop. I dipped my toe into the Apple universe last December with an iPhone 6s.

That has caused me to at least consider a Mac Mini but the price is very high for a fixed configuration which dates to 2014. I don't know but suspect that much of Photoshop would not utilize the multi-threading capabilities of an Intel i7. So, in selecting a processor, I would try to maximize single thread performance which means clock speeds of 3GHz or more. But the only way to get that clock speed in a Mac Mini it to buy the i7 version at $1300.

That leaves a custom built machine running Linux with Wine or maybe a virtual Win 7 to run Photoshop.

Anyone have experience with this and a recommendation? Am I wrong about the degree of multi-threading in Photoshop?
