    So sick of people saying stuff like this. Linux blah blah blah. Linux is not suitable for the vast majority of business and home users due to software incompatibility. People don’t want to mess around with wine or whatever else just to use photoshop or word.

      Linux is absolutely suitable for most people.

      If you are dependent on software that locks you into windows, then you deserve what you get.

      Maybe if you had higher standards, then software vendors would be forced to reach them.

        Some software just literally isn’t available for Linux. And lets face it, even Ubuntu requires more tinkering than the average user is prepared to do, or in other words, any tinkering at all because they would have to install it themselves and they do not know how to do that. And the few times I’ve bothered to use Linux even as my backup, the tinkering never stops. Its not worth the hassle at this point in time.
