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!
I think linux PC vendors (Tuxedo, system76) have to fund stuff like this at the beginning, at least until we have not only a single digit percentage of market share running linux…
I mean profit oriented companies only invest in stuff they think they can yield something from later
yeah that’s a problem. but we also need a lot of work on this side of wine.
they can certainly bring more people to their platform at a time computers are getting expensive to build, but integrators buying in bulk can wrestle better prices.

Why would they want to do that? If there’s sufficient demand, companies like Adobe have enough billions in change to fund that effort.

Solid works, Inventor, Bambu, Fussion, Orca Slicer, ProgeCAD, AutomationDirect software too
I think that’s all I have on my laptop
i’m pretty sure orca slicer is native on linux.
I use it on Linux. Crashy but it works.
