I would love to use Linux but it still lacks native support for a lot of programs which sucks
On the bright side the only program a lot of people use their computer for is a browser
It’s incredible how much software has migrated to browsers. I work in an industry and job that, 10-15 years ago, I would have needed a whole bunch of programs installed. Now I could essentially do my entire job from any computer since everything I work in is either browser-based or could be browser-based if needed (the Office suite)
