Some people need to use certain programs for work that just don’t exist on Linux, some people play games with anti cheat that will require developer support in order to work on Linux (which might never happen). Hell, Libre Office is nice and all but if you’re dealing with someone who uses Microsoft Office and it’s a professional setting you don’t have a choice, you need to use Microsoft Office because although you can save files in the right format, when they reach their destination the formatting will probably be completely fucked.
I’m so tired of Linux users acting like they know better than others what their needs are.

None of those are good enough excuses to jettison your self-respect and allow yourself to be milked like cattle.
Oh so I should quit my job because I need to use Excel because our tools are Excel based programs, that’s what you’re saying?
I understand where you’re coming from, but there are some flaws with your reasoning:
