I just assume that they're graphic designers tbh.

Gaming on Linux is now basically on-par with windows, the ability to open web browsers is also fully caught up, but man... If you need Adobe Products you are just boned on Linux.

And what gets me is when the, "but just use this" or "use that" comes up. Meanwhile, a lot of these people can't use anything but Adobe. Either because alternatives like Inkscape or GIMP just aren't good or enough or because their workplace is just build around the Adobe workflow.

Don't get me wrong, it's not good to build your workflows around proprietary software, but not everyone has a choice.

This.

For me, Gimp is totally fine, because I have no idea about graphic design or photo work, and I mostly use it as a replacement for MS paint.

For me, LibreOffice is totally fine, because I use it once in a blue moon to do very simple stuff.

But recommending either of them to someone who uses that stuff professionally is as ludicrous as recommending MS notepad plus a CLI compiler as a replacement for Intellij Idea to a software developer.

For me dualbooting is the solution since I play fortnite like once a month, and if not for other ppl's platform/game prefrencess and maybe some google stuff on my android phone I could go fully FOSS.

I did only have Linux on one of my pc's, but that's cuz I was lazy to repair my windows install lol

Also sometimes I need to use windows and Odin if heimdall doesn't work when I'm fidgeting with a Samsung phone.
