    Linux is already dominant in server space.

    After decades of promises and work, it’s still not viable as a general desktop OS.

    I know this because I use it.

      Do you have a proprietary requirement that you can’t handle on Linux? It works fine for me but also I’m not dependent on local proprietary tools to do my work so we may have a very different experience

        Actually, believe it or not, it’s the opposite. I use an application that requires to be run on Linux and doesn’t work under WSL. And yes, it’s very proprietary. My main issue are ‘little things’ that require to edit config files or scripts to be fixed. I have no problem doing that, but not everyone is a nerd.

      The productivity tools seem fine, almost all the games work, photo processing is fine; what workflow of your does Linux not support?
