    I’m glad you can have a Windows-free existence.

    Some things just don’t function well on Linux, but there are lots of us who are 99% Linux and don’t use Windows unless we have to.

        CAD softwares, Tally, any Autodesk tools, Adobe software not counting specifically made business softwares years ago. I couldn’t get Office running with wine ever.

            It’s the industry standard in many areas for a reason. Photoshop has no equal, though strides are being made to change that.

                You don’t care because it’s not your job to use it professionally. You are not most people.

                  I don’t care because it’s a shit company. We can’t just continue to ignore it, and say well it’s all we got.

                  I would rather use anything, professional or not, even going back to doing it by hand, than support adobe.

                    Usually people in the commercial creative space have to collaborate. If no one uses the niche software you use you can rebel against Adobe all you want because a job won’t be taking any of your time.

        For me personally about 30% of my video game library, which don’t function even with the various compatibility tools.

        But when I started my YouTube channel I was using Openshot, which does not work on Linux, or at least it didn’t for me. My old Lenovo Legion was largely incompatible with Linux too, as I tried a dual-boot with two different distros and still had to debug it all the time. (Thankfully not a problem on the Acer that replaced it.)

        Linux is great, but it’s not yet compatible with everything.

          Do you have to remove your bottom two ribs to shill for adobe or do they send you to special stretching classes?

            Adobe is a shit company, and I’m not giving them any money, but the fact is their programs have features that the alternatives don’t. I’m looking forward to the day when they start supporting Linux or an alternate program family steps up with all the features I need.

          I work in automotive, if you try to flash an ECU on Linux you are GOING to brick a likely 1000$ ecu. Some stuff, especially in the corporate/business environment, simply will only work with windows. If people don’t like it they should get to coding instead of telling people who need windows for their livelihood to “just use something else” 😂 yea sure let me contact HP tuners and just have them make a whole new software special just for me!
