I am going to take the bet.

The thing is : microsoft won't stop spying, collecting data is a nice business, and also most people don't need windows:

  • Office docs can be open through onlyoffice, or you can also switch to libreoffice (the best option would be raw text like markdown or csv with a nice editor)
  • Who really needs advanced photoshop stuff that gimp can't provide ? AI ? (also gimp devs just revamped the project to bring modern features inside the editing core)
  • web browsers work on linux.
  • only kernel anticheats do not work on linux because kernel. Shame on the devs for needing a full fledge malware when it is purely cat and mouse (and if game devs could provide hostable private servers this would be nice). Also, I don't know if it works but this project exists

Finally, posting this on the fediverse is a bit ironic : why would you go on a small userbase social network when you can just go on facebook, X, bluesky or reddit ?

    I personally prefer Krita to Gimp, otherwise my real issues with Linux being:

    • Lack of pro audio support. Sure, a lot of open source plugins are available on Linux, but only 1 usable DAW (Ardour), and even that has it's own "issues" (de facto paid, if you don't want to wrestle with exact compiler and make versions the devs won't tell you).
    • X11 is kind of dated, while Wayland is still not up to the task.
    • GNOME devs. After all the sabotage, probably done in order to force people to use GTK and their UX design sensibilities, they should be banned from any Wayland protocol discussion.
    • Elitist users. They'll scream at you online for using a normal text editor instead of VIM, they want you to write little automated scripts for GDB instead of using something with a normal GUI, etc.
