Sadly it is not about learning Linux but getting the software you use on a daily basis natively supported by the OS, that is why Linux is still not there for me yet.

What do you use on a daily basis that's not supported? I see this kind of comment all the time and nobody wants to tell me!

Microsoft office suite? Adobe, most DAWs. PCVR.

There are alternatives for some of these things. IMO libreoffice is good, but buggy compared to the MS office suite.

Basically "professional software" that isn't tech related.
There are fantastic alternatives that are (nearly) transparent for individual users.
There are BETTER alternatives for some software.
But working in a team/company that doesn't prioritise Linux accessibility is painful. And it's pain that people aren't paid to deal with to complete their actual workload.
MS has corporate by the balls.
