Tbh I don't think Linux users should recommend Linux to Windows users. Linux fundamentally cannot replace Windows, it will never fully replicate its software support or quality. If someone tells me that they need Adobe products or other professional photo/video editors I would genuinely tell them to reinstall Windows.
I mean, dual booting is an option. I can do everything I was doing in windows on Linux now. Rest of my family is on Linux now as well. Seems to be working just fine.
The real problem is the lack of official support from companies like Adobe, Nvidia, and others that refuse to support Linux. Sure there are workarounds, but not without getting into the console which is already too much for people who are used to the drivers just downloading. Many Linux users tend to overlook how much Windows just does everything for them, for better or worse.
Yeah it’s the hardware support thing that gets me the most
