From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If adobe and office get official support that could result in a big shift. Half the people I've talked to that won't move cite those apps as reasons. Solid CAD support would be huge as well I think.
You can access just about every Office product via browser iirc.
That's true, but I know it doesn't have the full functionality of the app. I only use office through work because it's required, and I'm far from a power user, so I'm not sure what those features are. I'm just regurgitating what I've heard.
The AI stuff in Adobe has been insufferable
I'll believe it. I do not use any of their apps, but every single time AI has been added to an app, it's been worse. That's not even an exaggerating, every single time it's been worse in my experience.
However, for some people it's adobe or bust, and I can empathize with not wanting to start over with a new app, especially if you're particularly skilled with it already.
I dumped Adobe when I tried to reinstall my Creative Suite on a new PC only to have it tell me it was "too old" and I needed to "upgrade" to Creative Cloud.
That "cloud" word had me nope right the fuck out, and it seems I dodged a bullet, as I was not involved with Adobe when they became screwed all their customers.
They even have AI on the freaking Acrobat Reader
