    get that and other common specialty software like autocad and stuff to run reliably, and there would be even less of a barrier for people to switch. i wish valve sponsored more of this work beyond running games. i love that it does but most people’s bread and butter must come here.

      exactly! i tried linux couple of years ago and loved it, i used to dual boot, but i couldnt get the adobe suit running so i just gave up since i rely on it for my job. its not like i love adobe or something, i hate it, but i absolutely need it for my job so i cant really switch, so im stuck on windows. if linux supported the apps that i need like adobe suit and some 3d programs then i would switch asap

      Why would they want to do that? If there’s sufficient demand, companies like Adobe have enough billions in change to fund that effort.

        yeah that’s a problem. but we also need a lot of work on this side of wine.

        they can certainly bring more people to their platform at a time computers are getting expensive to build, but integrators buying in bulk can wrestle better prices.
