The only few reason I know so far is software availability, like adobe software, and Microsoft suite. Is there more of major reasons that I missed?

Put me in the crowd that would jump to Linux rather than Windows 11 but my sw (Affinity Apps) don’t work on it.

Most of the other apps needed work on it. I just don’t need all the BS Microsoft push for my work machine.

Edit: Use Linux desktop on other machines.

The affinity thing especially annoys me. They have real potential to steal a niche from Adobe. Does even need to be native, they just need to work with wine.
