It will never be there. Adobe and Microsoft won’t allow it. There can’t be a replacement for industry standard tools (like Word, Excel, Illustrator, Premiere) unless the replacement becomes the new standard.
- erikbye 5y agoLinux desktop is very big in VFX at least.
- pjmlp 5y agoExcept the little details that to work around the usual fragmentation, the VFX industry created a standard for what is supposed to be a VFX workstation, and they couldn't care less about the proprietary nature of Nvidia drivers.
- lawl 5y ago> There can’t be a replacement for industry standard tools (like Word, Excel, Illustrator, Premiere) unless the replacement becomes the new standard I thought about this in the past and disagree. You can already see it with google docs. Office file format interop is becoming irrelevant because the new format is just an url you point your browser to. I worked at a company that used gdocs and had a total of 0 complaints about sending customers a link to a gdoc instead of a docx attachment. There is no need for an industry standard anymore. As for adobe tools, ok they might still be an issue currently.
- pjmlp 5y agoGoogle docs is useable if what one expects from a word processor is being a digital typewriter with Write like features.
- jokethrowaway 5y agoThe people needing advanced features of Office are a tiny minority
- pjmlp 5y agoExcept each minority wants a different set of Office features.
- wyclif 5y agoIt's like that now, but Google Docs will eventually start moving in on Word's more sophisticated feature set.
- pjmlp 5y agoSure, like it has already done so for the last decade.
- theonlybutlet 5y agoGoogle docs, Office online and Adobe cloud are giving these a run for their money. Adobe cloud is probably the least successful of three purely due to price and high piracy levels.
- Joeboy 5y agoI believe Premiere is very popular for mid-range stuff, but it's not really the "industry standard". If that was anything, I think it'd probably be Avid Media Composer. Linux has (freemium / non-Free) Davinci Resolve, which is increasingly popular in the mid range, across all the main platforms. Edit: The multimedia things I find really painfully missing in Linux are Izotope RX9 and Kontakt.
