Terrible argument. People don’t use this when they’re switching from Windows to MacOS or vice versa but it’s a requirement for Linux?
Most if not all applications are probably available through WINE layer of some sort.
- anaganisk 5y agoThere is a huge difference between Probably and available. Next > next > finish vs gazillion configurations for 90% of PC users.
- yepthatsreality 5y agoUnless your software is extremely specialized, 90% of users will and should probably find an alternative first before going the WINE route.
- mgkimsal 5y agoSwitching from Windows to Mac, you may have existing commercial software packages to deal with. There's a good chance that the commercial package is available on Mac, or there's a set of choices that are functionally equivalent, and commercially supported (large companies or indie developers). That's a less likely proposition when moving from Windows to Linux (which itself is a less true statement today than 10 years ago, but isn't the same as moving to a Mac).
