Most apps have open source versions which work better anyway. I’ve been on a Linux desktop literally for the past 20+ years now, never looked back

Ngl I have been using some of the open source alternatives on linux now

I stopped calling them alternatives because that implies that its somehow a “B” version, less than “the original”. Many times these lesser know softwares are superior to their closed source counterparts

To really switch to Linux people need to accept that for a good experience you may need to switch off some software to alternative software.
This wasn’t a big deal for me personally and I’m happy I use more open source software now, it can be a bigger issue especially if you need specific tools for work.

I stopped using the word “alternative” as it implies it maybe be less good. I just say “open source” now.
In reality, open source software almost always is a better product as it’s designed by people wanting it, not by a bunch of managers wanting more money directing a bunch of developers who just want their salary.
Also: a lot of the mainstream software has Linux clients, if you look for them
I’ve been on Linux desktop and server for over 20 years now, reaching 25. Never looked back, never will
