Microsoft won’t let you close OneDrive on Windows until you explain yourself
i cringe so hard at how pathetic and ridiculous microsoft has become.
Literally the only reason why people still use windows is that everyone else writes their programs for windows. But let's be honest here. Out of the three big OS's (Win, Linux, MacOS) windows is by far the worst. Big developers have to start writing their software for Linux and windows will crumble very fast.
Devs follow the crowd, and its usually not the other way around unless theres a financial incentive (e.g valves position).
The easiest one is AI/ML. Devs could switch to linux and help make AMD better with open source drivers. Most of them continue to feed into the already existing CUDA network Nvidia created for devs. The major libraries for ML (e.g tensorflow) already have AMD backends, most devs just rather not do that work until its the mainstream.
I find for most day to day uses, there are already decent options available for Linux. There still needs to be a bit more polish for non technical users, but it's getting really close to being a viable mainstream option nowadays.
There's still a lack of professional software for music, photography and video production. It's not just a matter of there being a good tool; you want a good tool that's established and widely used in the industry. If some of the makers of professional software in these fields were to port their stuff to Linux, Linux's market share would grow and the momentum would prompt more software companies to do the same. But getting that ball rolling has proven hard for decades. Maybe as Windows becomes more and more frustrating, more ordinary users who don't need these particular tools will migrate and increase Linux's market share, causing software companies to take note. But people are quite used to putting up with a lot of nonsense on Windows.
Honestly, the use case with the least/worst options on Linux is CAD. Yes, FreeCAD is a thing but it's terrible and it's established userbase insists that actual modern CAD packages are unnecessary.
Apart from FreeCAD, there's a browser-based option that looks good, but most people won't use it because it forces everything designed on their service to be open-source.
There's a curve to this. If they're non technical enough, learning to use Linux for browsing Facebook is just as easy as learning windows. I've switched a handful of my older customers to Linux and they're my least needy customers now.
Give me all games and I'll jump ships immediately.

For me, my choice of platform is more important than my choice of game. Luckily the game I play, Minecraft, runs fine on Linux.
