    • Playstation also doesn’t support PC or Xbox games. It’s pretty clear what IS supported and its like 60% of steam games for PC along with a massive library of classic games via emulation. Excuse me while I switch between playing a switch game and a windows game and take a break to play a native game.

    • Most of what people do “for work” with office is crap out a presentation, word processor doc, or spreadsheet which all work fine in Libre Office. In fact for a lot of users the triviality of shared editing of google docs actually trumps every other feature that office has.

    • Most people’s usage of an image editor is resizing and cropping. Only a tiny minority actually need a professional image editor like most people don’t need a backhoe

    • Good hardware support is having good hardware to buy in every category not supporting literally every piece of hardware in existence. Smart people who use Linux buy Linux friendly hardware.

      • K. Have fun.
      • Yes, LibreOffice works fine. Now save that document and send it over to the attorney for approval. Wait for the email telling you it’s broken and shit because they’re using Office and LibreOffice still has problems export to different file formats. Interoperability is the issue. Google Docs is not an answer for anything.
      • So between this and the previous one you’re basically saying that advanced USERS need not apply to Linux, right?
      • Then why the fuck is every dick with an ISO telling me that Linux can be installed on any old hardware I have laying around?

      This is the problem with Linux in general. Such a huge portion of the user base are elitist pricks. “Well just buy the RIGHT hardware.” Nah mate, I can’t be arsed to buy a new motherboard with a wifi chip that’s supported by this OS. I’ve already bought the audio interface. That scanner was a gift. The printer was a deal. It goes on.
