              Most business software is made for Windows only. Pretty much every single person uses a Windows PC at work. My fucking workstation is a Windows PC, it is unavoidable.

                    But windows cripples and breaks shit constantly its like the console argument in the 2010s pretending console games were still what they were in like 1990 and they just weren’t the stuff they criticized PCs for was all stuff consoles had problems with too by that point they were arguing based on the landscape of a decade or two previous

                    Exactly this. Linux (and really anything except Windows) suffers from the 90-10 problem. The concept is that 90% of your workflow is easy. You’ll only spend 10% of your time and focus on it. But that remaining 10% of your workflow is a real bitch. You’ll spend 90% of your time just trying to get that remaining 10% working.

                    And sure, you may be able and willing to do this for your personal computer, where you have the ability to tinker on your own gear. But good fucking luck trying to convince a corporate IT team to spend 90% of their time trying to get 10% of your workflow working. Especially when it already works for everyone else on Windows. They’ll tell you to get fucked and require you to use Windows.
