But there are a lot of other software, that people have a hard time letting go of. Like Affinity, Scrivener, certain games, a lot of small programs/apps, like FastStone apps (Image viewer and more), AllMyNotes, ActionOutline, Duplicate cleaner 5, EZ CD Audio Converter and more…
I always recommend Loreforge as a replacement for Scrivener. I had no problem swapping once I spent a little time in Loreforge. It’s even available on Windows so they can try it ahead of time.
Yeah, there’s a lot of niche software for specific needs that’s doesn’t have alternative or have subpar alternatives on Linux. Even as a full-time Linux users and supporter, I still have to acknowledge that the amount of investments gone into enterprise stuff over the year have basically made switching from Windows for a lot of professions almost impossible. Unless we start having more funding and development from state actors, the market share of OS won’t change significantly anytime soon.
Adobe has had some pressure for some time to offer Linux versions of their software. I think they are being paid by Microsoft not to offer it. Similar to how Google pays Microsoft to keep Bing shit.
Linux has been a superior OS for a while, especially since Steam’s efforts to port games over to it.
Only reason many people hang on, including some in my household, is platform exclusive tools like Adobe.
Kind of what I was thinking too.
AutoCAD
It’s the reason I feel stuck too.
Freecad?
Not at all comparable.
source: I use it.
Once I retire and no longer need Windows for work I am switching full time to Linux.
Well, Adobe is not “household” software. :-)
