#Like we're going to use FileMaker today in class and this shit is expensive and most likely not available on linux

Well the thing is... It's not possible for everyone.

For my Master and afterwards for work, I need to have Windows because I have to use programs that can only be found on windows and mac, and I'm certainly never going to use a mac.

Yes linux is great, which is why I put my previous laptop under linux now that I use another one for uni, but I can't download Adobe on Debian now, can I?

And yes, I know there are free and open sources alternatives AND that they're also available on linux. But when your entire uni/work system uses specific programs to run specific tasks specific to your specialisation, you can hardly be picky.

Also linux is "hard to use" because a huge chunk of people use windows and only moves to Linux when they're laptop is dying. It's just the normal impact of changing OS.

Windows is hard to use bc they keep rolling out shit updates and also capitalism. But in itself it's easier for a lot of people because they know how to use it.

So yeah... You can advocate for linux. Linux is great. But you can't possibly tell people to do things they can't do, and even less shame/judge them for that.
