Lightroom vs Lightroom Classic

Question

After watching videos from influencers urging a move to Lightroom, I continue to use Lightroom Classic. At my age I need to do more creative work with the tools I am familiar with. I admit I use both apps - LR Classic on my desktop and LR on my portable devices, but LR Classic is the workhorse. I discovered one thing that further separates the two apps.

I have a catalogue in LR Classic with which I can remove unwanted images, but not delete them from the hard drive. When using LR, ALL the images on the disk are availble to view, not good enough for further development, but I don't want to delete them from the hard drive or see them. So, the LR Classic catalogue only contains my "good" photos.

Just saying.
