    Some people live in a world where they have jobs to do and the software they do it with is on one or the other but definitely not Linux.

      Because they let themselves to get locked into proprietary bubble.

      Have fun with your CNC machine that doesn’t work unless you program it with version 113 build revision 7 of proprietary firmware that cannot be loaded unless you run Windows XP SP 3, because CNC machining software is totally something that needed to be windows based…

      Just remember, Therac-25 didn’t need to kill people.

          You don’t have to, but if Microsoft or Apple prevents you from opening a pirated movie and you need Windows or MacOS for work, dual booting is a solution.
