If only we could prod decision makers at the big software companies to actually support Linux…
Those fucks are way too greedy though. I mean AutoCAD hasn’t even got any significant feature updates in years let alone support for any platform other than Windows and they still charge insane prices for it just cause they can. And at the end of the day me and everyone at work are all stuck on shitty Windows.
It looks like a chicken and egg problem: you don’t have commercial software available on Linux so people won’t use it, so you don’t have enough user base to justify the development of Linux versions. This won’t be solved unless a big company like Valve decides that Linux is the way and start solving basic issues like usability and installation of apps.
