  • I approached this as they are more techie than a regular user, so they can learn Linux faster if they want. Otherwise, it’s their job and they are not a regular user. It’s the same for MS Office too. If it’s related to someone else’s job, it’s most likely irreplaceable. However MS Office is not a must for people who just want to write or do some spreadsheet.

    Basically I exclude jobs from “everyday users”.

    Well, it’s true that Photoshop has no real competitor, at least in the FOSS world. Otherwise we wouldn’t have this conversation. :)


  • I mean, I get MS Office part but do normal people use Adobe stuff (aside from Acrobat)? As I see, normal people don’t even know how to use Photoshop. The ones who can use Adobe products can use Linux as well without a hassle in my opinion. However, a change requires to relearn things. Probably that’s the reason people don’t seek a change, unless they feel a little adventurous.

    If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Hopefully, Microsoft will break that cycle.
