It's amazing how companies like Autodesk and Adobe see Linux as some "toy". When we talk about Linux we are talking about a professional workstation. My entire company uses Linux (currently Fedora 39) on its workstations, and all of our servers use FreeBSD. Not because it's free, but because it proves to be better than the alternatives to what we produce. We pay for licenses for JetBrains, BricsCAD, MATLAB and I still happily pay STEAM to play my Civilization, Doom Eternal, CS2 and I use Proton to continue my adventures in Diablo and Star Craft, all PAID. Adobe and Autodesk, be ashamed and instead of talking about market share, admit that you do not have competence.

    As much I'd like linux to be a major competitive desktop and have software supported. It's a relatively small market share.

    For 3d stuff, I'd rather have blender take their lunch. xD

    Money rules above anything else.

    If there was profit to be made, they would make linux versions. Trust me, someone would have considered this several times and the outcome has clearly been "not worth it". Not idealistic, not to be difficult, not because of incompetence.. money.

    Creative software is unfortunately mostly exclusive to windows and macos since that is where the user base and the money is

    The moment you figure out to connect the money flow with linux and not end up like the cautionary tale like Loki Entertainment (company that did exclusive ports to Linux), you can make it happen.

    Though I think Linux market is larger than in 2002 (year loki ent folded) just because overall market share is larger .

    I think few companies already doing this btw. Do it mudafkaas xD
