    I was naively telling myself “So many people hate 11, I doubt adoption has ticked up, and 10 will end up having extensions for support like 7 did, because no one wanted 8.”

    Then I saw the latest Steam Hardware survey. 11 is nearly even with 10 on installs. RIP.

    Glad I’ve been cultivating a love for Linux the last several years and that I dual-boot my main box but run Linux alone on all my other boxes.

    Because this is pushing me into using Linux alone unless there’s a serious need for Windows.

      Basically I use Windows because of the Adobe suite not having a Linux version or (apparently) not working well in WINE

      Or at least it didn’t the last time I looked into it

        Your being locked into wondows by being locked into the equally shitty Adobe suite. There are apparently some really good alternatives to Adobe out there. Maybe check them out if you havent already.

          Depending on their industry it might not be so simple. I know a lot of production houses are built around Adobe, for instance, so it’s premiere or nothing.

          There are no really good alternatives to Adobe.

          Or at least, while there may be programs that are good enough to keep you from going to Adobe to begin with, those options will not be good enough to satisfy someone that is using Adobe already.

          It is one of the areas that Open Source and Linux lags the most.
