It really depends on your needs for sure. My linux systems have been rock solid. Been windows free for years. But i absolutely know people who have workloads that break seemingly weekly on linux. Like say example android emulation. Easy on windows, bluestacks. On linux? Lots of options from waydroid to blissOS on qemu but they break fucking constantly
When it works, it works great. But almost every update for me and my friend completely breaks waydroid and it will just refuse to boot stuck at the linage booting animation for eternity. Been trying to get him on stable android it’s the only thing he misses from windows but it’s been a chore
I I believe Linux appeals to a specific group of users. Personally, I rely heavily on Microsoft Office. Unfortunately, LibreOffice and OpenOffice don’t meet my needs because they often alter document formats when I share files across different platforms.
Literally every office job ad in my country wants MSOffice experience. Many also want GSuite even though that’s redundant. I’ve even seen one in the legal sector that wanted WordPerfect. Can’t speak for the other guy, but not everyone has an option to “get a better job.”
Top six jobs on Indeed, search query “office assistant” in Calgary, AB. Ctrl+F for “MS Office” or “Microsoft”. Can’t show you the one that wanted WordPerfect because it expired months ago and I didn’t save the link. Not to mention it would dox me.
Here are the results of searching “Linux sysadmin”, none of them requires MS Office experience but they all require Linux experience. Do you understand now why your comment is stupid?
Yeah my Windows system has my Lightroom install and my Fusion 360 install, part of my laziness is that I hear that you can get both to work but I haven’t bothered to shift over and make the attempt at getting them to work.
The open source alternatives for those 2 just aren’t there for me.
Funnily enough I could say the same about Windows
That thing has broken itself more times than I can count but my 2 linux machines (I still have 1 Windows machine) have been rock solid for 2 years now
The most only reason I have the last Windows machine is because I’ve been lazy about switching it lol

While I can’t speak for others I use Waydroid and it is pretty solid.

Oh, boy. Get a better job.

Yeah, that’s a lie.

You could use PDF

You can get Fusion 365 working but it is a pain and I wouldn’t recommend it.
What you could do is setup Windows in a KVM VM with some sort of graphics acceleration. With guest addons it will be like native.
