As much as everyone pushes Linux, it’s not a suitable replacement in a lot of scenarios

But it is a suitable replacement in a lot of scenarios. Most scenarios. The only time it isn’t is in niche specialty situations.

The problem is mostly that those niches count up, so that quite a lot of people fit in one of those niches.

I happen to fit in 3 niches at the same time: VR, Music and Professional design.

VR? No linux. Music production? Depending on your VSTs, No linux. Playing Music live? Depending on VSTs, No linux. Professional design? No Linux.

I currently actively trying to switch to Linux, despite its apparant shortcomings in above applications. It's quite the challenge. Wine seems to install quite some stuff, but from what I've read it's a crabshoot if stuff breaks after every update...

Not really. Adobe creative cloud is used my almost all graphic/media professionals, yet doesn’t work on Linux… that’s not very niche

And fwiw, most computer users still aren’t Adobe CC users.

[–] Dagamant 4 points 7 months ago

That is a niche. its a large niche, but its still a niche.

~~graphic/media professionals~~ adobe users

Although it's a bloated mess, it's the standard for a reason. Affinity is starting to catch up, but the complete Adobe suite has no real competition.

It is in far more situations that it isn't

Nothing productive mentioning the situations it can't do while ignoring the massive amount of situations it can do far better

What are some of these scenarios?
