I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

That's fine. I understand there is software that Linux doesn't have specifically. That is basically a chicken an egg problem. I think everyone can agree that we'd rather have a FOSS option and not pay adobe anymore.

The point I'm making is if you're going to come on here and say Linux ain't working at least give specific examples. Don't just say it doesn't work because it does work and there is an alternative to everything whether you want to use it or not is a different discussion.

Also , lets hope that the ARM platform is going to bridge this gap. I could be wrong on this but it seems like now that MacOS runs on ARM then we should see a lot more cross compatibility on Linux based ARM systems in the future. (Anyone wanna speculate on when ARM will kill x86, if ever)?
