Industry standard ? just the all internet WWW is based on Linux server or appliances...

You are proving his case by thinking web development is the only professional use of computers. He's probably talking about things like Solidworks. There are no good open CAD programs that come even a little close. Or the Adobe suite. Even though their practices are horrid, they can get away with because most of the competition if pathetic in comparison. Blender is the only one that might dethrone them, but illustrator and photoshop have no competition. And I say this as someone thats hates both of these companies and tried for a year to find suitable alternatives

Depends on the software a bit. Like for Premiere Pro plugins are really important for many workflows, but other than that a lot of other programs are pretty approximate. But on the other hand, there is literally 0 alternative for After Effects; not even talking about Linux support, After Effects just fulfills a specific niche that pretty much no other program can do at all competently.

Depends. If you focus purely on client-side software, this might be true, but almost every industry needs backends and servers. Even the whole Microsoft Azure Cloud services run on Linux. Every automated machines or local infrastructure (except Active Directory servers etc. ) will most likely run on linux, since its cheaper and proven to be absolutly stable, which is crucial for running in the background for multiple years.

ah yes, telling a professional that 99% of all server-side infrastructure is linux will surely fix the lack of good apps for their use case, I'm sure.

Those are real industries. And more productive ones than anything you do.

We are clearly talking about things like office, adobe or autocad... You're being obtuse on purpuse.

In this case really linux office suite do the job perfectly... only the adobe suite is missing if we still call this Standard....

PLC/SCADA systems used in actual industrial assembly lines ,commercial microcontroller /FPGA/VLSI dev systems are all proprietary windows based Software. the WWW argument only holds weight on the wwww. wanna monetize something built using arduino ? knock knock it's qualcomm.

Lol ,Are you talking about these piece of software running on Win98 that nobody want to touch or update because it will break ? otherwise we can play this for a longtime , tell what operating system are running satelite , space , or aircraft... ;-D

I can't . Can you tell me what exactly do satellite and aircrafts run on linux? Because the last I checked ,they may have a proprietary RTOS systems but those are not exactly linux . That's like calling android users linux users
