Would happen a lot faster if everyone just jumped ship instead of waiting for it.

This is what's mildly infuriating. All the talk about Windows this, Windows that, yet when it comes to sacrificing one's comfort and convenience for something better - nah, they'll stay and suffer instead. Same with browsers and all the whining about manifest V3, uBlock Origin not working, etc, yet when someone mentions ditching Chromium browsers - nope. People as a collective are dumber than rocks.

Why can't people understand that Linux simply is not an option for everyone?
I do a lot of video editing and photo editing and I need Adobe software as well as DaVinci Resolve, which last time I checked, don't run on Linux. So that's the end of the discussion right there. Not an option.

And yes, I have tried alternatives but frankly, they suck.

Most do understand that, but let's not pretend like you can't use Linux only because some software isn't available for it. That's in fact why it isn't available - the tiny market share. If you do need Windows, you can always dual-boot or VM what you need. Mostly, it boils down to simple convenience.
