If you don't need that kind of thing then Linux is indeed pretty good these days. But especially in a business context, a lot of people do.

I run both of those on Linux, with no trouble. Who told you this?

Why do I have to use Onenote? It's free. It syncs well with other computers and mobile apps. Sharing notebooks with other people works and is free. It's intuitive enough that my wife can use it. The search works, the formatting is rich enough, you can paste in pictures.

I don't need the rest of Office. The online versions or Google docs are good enough. If I can get Onenote and Fusion360 working well on Linux, I would likely switch to Linux.

I used Linux Mint for about a year and gave up because everything was constantly breaking and the software was a direct downgrade from MacOS in terms of usability and prevalence. Oh, and new hardware usually doesn't even work on Linux.

Linux is like Communism, sounds great in theory but in reality it doesn't work.

It appears a site for software engineers can get lost in the sauce with the concept of something being "easy" - but Linux absolutely will never take off if it's a pain in the ass for the average computer user to install and use.

Man I'm using windows and defending it's usage in this very thread but that's totally stupid

Well - I think this should start to cover it.
