But there are a lot of other software, that people have a hard time letting go of. Like Affinity, Scrivener, certain games, a lot of small programs/apps, like FastStone apps (Image viewer and more), AllMyNotes, ActionOutline, Duplicate cleaner 5, EZ CD Audio Converter and more…
It may be me being a millenial, but I’m used to Photoshop being widely pirated. It used to be Adobe’s strategy to let people do that because that meant more people who knew how to use it and therefore more business sales.
I always recommend Loreforge as a replacement for Scrivener. I had no problem swapping once I spent a little time in Loreforge. It’s even available on Windows so they can try it ahead of time.
My guess is, that you haven’t heard of a lot of apps or games, that a lot of people enjoy using… But it’s really of little consequence to the debate here, what you have heard of. :-)
Linux has been a superior OS for a while, especially since Steam’s efforts to port games over to it.
Only reason many people hang on, including some in my household, is platform exclusive tools like Adobe.
Kind of what I was thinking too.
AutoCAD
It’s the reason I feel stuck too.
Freecad?
Not at all comparable.
source: I use it.
Well, Adobe is not “household” software. :-)

it is when everyone pirates it
Which everyone doesn’t do. By your definition, every software is household. Come on, please relate to this with common sense.

It’s a good alternative, but it’s subscription based, and that’s a no go. Thanks for telling me about it though.
LOL. Never heard of any of them.

Once I retire and no longer need Windows for work I am switching full time to Linux.
