    Rather that noobs stay on win tbh. If gnu/Linux become mainstream, the Adobe, MS etc etc will just move onto Linux. Just look at flathub - how many of the top downloaded programs are proprietary? A lot, e.g. Discord and Steam.

    This is a genuine concern that I have.

      I don’t daily drive Linux (though I use Tmux and Vim 8 hours a day if that counts for anything) so take this with a grain of salt. Would those companies jumping to Linux really be a problem? Steam is embracing Linux and it seems like it’s legitimized Linux gaming in a way that people never thought was possible. I hate Adobe, but how would Photoshop Linux edition prevent you from using open source alternatives?
