That’s unfortunately simply untrue. You can’t, with a straight face, claim that there is any actual competition to Photoshop, Revit or a myriad of other, non-programming use-cases. It’s easy to use Linux when you’re a developer, it’s almost impossible if you’re an architect. Sure, you can use wine. Good luck, half of photoshop builds are borked. All Revit has garbage rating on wine. You just can’t professionally escape windows if you’re in a wrong profession.
I mean, I’m talking about switching IF there are apps for your workflow on Linux. If not then of course this is not (yet?) an option for you. But imo many people don’t switch because the apps they are used to don’t exist on Linux, not because there are no replacements. And as a side effect, most apps on Linux are open source, so even switching to just some of those is still a good thing.
