Being real though, for most people on actual personal computers, not work devices, linux does everything you need, though with different software in some cases.

If you rely on adobe for personal hobbies, you're fucked. An ever shrinking amount of games don't play well with proton. And if you use a pc for your music listening/organization, you're not going to enjoy things much. That's it.

Now, switching software like word over to libreoffice can take a week or so of adjustment, but you can write a bloody novel on it. Same with the other libreoffice tools; they do perfectly well.

Yeah, work programs might not be optional, so until the big names start serving the linux market, not everyone will have full choice. But for those of us that aren't locked into an industry standard piece of software? It's really not an issue now.

Even when 10 came out, there wasn't a lot of issue switching over. Gaming at the time was the biggest non-work weakness.

The only thing I haven't been able to replace and do as well or better with is with audio. Linux doesn't have any programs that match musicbee.

The great irony is, a lot of the enterprise stuff DOES work on Linux. There's even a mative Microsoft Teams client. Further, the biggest innovation to Windows lately ... has been adding Linux to it with WSL.

Even Microsoft knows Windows sucks and is supporting Linux more than they used to.
