    Ah yes the classic purist arguement.

    If the applications I want to use don’t support Linux then apparently that’s their problem. I wish I didn’t have to live in the real world, but unfortunately I can’t pay my mortgage in moral righteousness. If I can’t use the programs I need to use my job, because I’ve decided to switch to an operating system that they don’t support, I’m the one that’s going to suffer.

    So no you can’t just ditch applications that don’t have Linux support.

    In the real world you have to dual boot and that’s a pain in the arse because it means Microsoft are still going to be getting some money from me.

        I can’t switch to purely Linux because I need windows in order to be able to do my job. The fact I also play games on the computer is irrelevant.

        I don’t understand what you’re not understanding.

      It’s a catch 22. If you need applications to make money sure. But games. Come on.

      I get a PC from my job, it has windows and that’s their choice.
