    There’s a circular reasoning happening that’s causing Windows to stay dominant. Why isn’t professional software being developed for Linux more? Because it doesn’t get used in the workplace. Why doesn’t Linux get used in the workplace? Because it doesn’t have professional software support.

    You need to break one of these things to succeed.

      Agreed. Both things need to happen when they can.

      If you live with the applications available on Linux ( or prefer them as I do ) then you can use Linux in the workplace.

      At the same time, some “professional” applications are going to need to start targeting Linux. Some do. More need to.

      There is an implied contract above. If you need professional applications and they become available on Linux, you have to use them ( and pay for them ).
