It’s not just games, arsehole. Anyone who needs a standardised film workflow probably uses Adobe, Autodesk and miscellaneous software that is Windows only or maybe supports Mac (usually not well).
Yes, a handful of these work on Linux, in theory, but have you ever tried installing Maya on fucking RHEL? I’m pretty sure I shortened my fucking lifespan by ten years trying to make it work.
Linux is cool, so is macOS, and so is BSD, but painting all Windows users as inherently being inferior to people using the software you use is a surefire way to make sure they never consider the other side out of fear of becoming one of the obnoxious Linux fanboys they’ve seen and rightly assumed to be a total moron.
TL;DR, yes Windows has many issues, but it’s a tool to be used when needed. Quit being a dickhead.
Come on, we were all 15 once.
Better to learn at 15 than at 45.
