6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? (lemmy.world)

I'm a professional graphic designer that dumped Adobe years back and I've been able to keep working using open source design applications.

I mean, sure you can do this, but you have to also sympathize with the folks that have years if not decades of experience in a program/suite, and that experience is what they use to market themselves. Like, in a perfect world, everyone could make the switch to FOSS alternatives, but it's not so cut and dry for those who can't spend up to years of their personal time to just get back to being as efficient as they were with the other, just to not support a scummy company. I've been moving pretty much entirely over to FOSS for everything I do, but it's been years in the making, and substantial effort on my part. And I have it easy, since I work in software development. We in the FOSS community can't expect all others to do the same.
