Or OBS if they decided on Wayland since the shortcuts/hotkeys don’t work unless OBS is the active window.
This just happened to me… And it was the tipping point since Xlink Kai still doesn’t work on Linux, Music Bee is still my go to music player and MP3Tag only works on Windows… So I dunno, I just threw the towel, it works fine for a lot of things, but there’s too many “but” in my use case so I gave up for now.
anyone who needs microsoft office. or the adobe suite. or visual studio. or autoCAD. or…
there’s a lot of professional creation software that’s not on linux. and yes, we have alternatives, and they’re cool, but they don’t work for everyone.
Depends on the organization. During my time at an MSP I saw plenty of orgs that could be switched to Linux tomorrow if the desire arose because everything happens in a web browser, but I also saw orgs where virtually every computer user was using different verieties of CAD so compatibility with both CAD and their fancy architectural plotters was business critical

Have you ever worked corporate
I have, and a colleague next to me handed me a Fedora DVD on a third consecutive day of hour and half long morning windows updates.
Never looked back.
Anyone dependent on Adobe suite.

Office is online nowadays…
And what is the percentage of users who need such specific software?

At least 90% of the companies are like that.
like nearly every single work environment
