      I have 800 users at my work that would say otherwise. Those are software that the entire civil engineering, geospatial, and architectural world rely on to make infrastructure. So, I’d say many users need those.

        A professional environment will certainly have requirements that differ from the common people.

          Yep. From my point of view, it would be nice to at least have to option to switch users over. Tired of Microsoft’s shit.

        Yes but it’s relative. I have 800 users right here that doesn’t use any of that stuff. Just saying it’s not really a block for 99% of users because all they do is surf the web and play games.

          Over a hundred million people use Autodesk products; Bentley systems is around the same size. Entire essential industries are built on these software. Pinning that all on 1% is disingenuous.

      Every person with a job needs some kind of app which doesn’t work on Linux. If you’re a teen still studying in school, then yeah, use Linux.
