    get that and other common specialty software like autocad and stuff to run reliably, and there would be even less of a barrier for people to switch. i wish valve sponsored more of this work beyond running games. i love that it does but most people’s bread and butter must come here.

      exactly! i tried linux couple of years ago and loved it, i used to dual boot, but i couldnt get the adobe suit running so i just gave up since i rely on it for my job. its not like i love adobe or something, i hate it, but i absolutely need it for my job so i cant really switch, so im stuck on windows. if linux supported the apps that i need like adobe suit and some 3d programs then i would switch asap

        a lot of people use the proprietary software not because they necessarily like it but because it’s industry standard and we have to since they cornered the market.

        i personally only switched to linux after i left the field. photoshop ran at the time but it was janky enough i couldn’t do the work i needed to do with it!
