"the Linux ecosystem and its various distros can do just about everything Windows and Mac could."

Can you please stop spreading that myth? It is wrong, wrong, wrong. It will just lead to false expectations and then disappointment with linux.

It is not only video-editing. What about audio? Qubase or FL studio? Nope. I like audacity, too. But it is not at all in the same league.

Photoshop? No, gimp is not equal.

And countless other professional software no one bothered to write linux versions, but quite some people need for their work.

And how about driver support on laptops? It is a fckn* gamble and you are allmost allways worse with linux on a laptop, than with the windows drivers. I wish it would be different, than I could dump my chromebook for a real linux laptop that satisfy my use case (small, light, long batterie, no standby hickups)

So yes, we need more people in open source software and hardware to change that for the better, but that won't work with false promises.
