      Yeah well, some of the most popular games in the world like Fortnite or Valorant cannot be played on Linux. Hell even Roblox which used to work was broken for 6 months this year due to a new anticheat (until it got fixed).

      As for Xbox Gamepass ? Streaming only. Using a Thrustmaster wheel ? Fortunately someone is working on that, but not everyone is willing or able to build and load their own drivers into the kernel.

      Setting aside potential “hurr hurr don’t play these games” comments ; there is no way around using windows if you want access to all PC games, not just some PC games.

      Boss: “make sure you include a PSD and AI file in your package”

      Me, a refined Linux user: “uhhhh”

          Everybody hear that? It didn’t happen to this one guy so it must never happen ever anywhere!

          Sure, but when I’m a cog in a bigger machine I need to prioritize my work being able to be continued by others or else I’ll be stuck making every single change on it that needs to be made in the future. The architecture we use to use the same PSD on AE projects and embedded webapps is essential to the system functioning as needed. Many, if not most places follow that same line of thinking and using a separate program that isn’t intended for that inner-platform use. It might be kool-aid but it’s a problem bigger than what OS I’d like to use.

              When you have to deal with quirks (and Adobe just progressively adding more ‘quirks’ to overcome) to use the programs you need to make your living, your initial claim of ‘just use Linux!’ still sounds like an unhelpful answer. I mean I use Linux daily but I still need to work in an ecosystem.

              Regarding Picasso, use whatever for personal art but people use the “industry standard” so they know any of their colleagues can use my deliverable for anything they should need to is a novel thing. I have plenty of personal experience why deviating causes problems where you least expect it to. It’s a shitty monopoly but I’m glad you have a means that allows you to work outside of it (keep doing it, it’s a good thing!)
