The last years of Unity were the best point I can remember. Final Unity versions looked and felt like a perfect cross between Windows 7 and macOS so I had no problem just giving a person with no Linux experience an Ubuntu laptop and seeing them using it happily with no questions or complains. The only problem with Linux desktop to come into my mind were lack of Adobe Photoshop (GIMP is not a perfect match) and limited selection of games.

- pjmlp 8y agoApparently they aren't complaining enough to Adobe directly, as they recently stated there isn't enough commercial demand to warrant development costs.
