    I’ve never understood how this is good for Linux. Why is having more users so important?

      More users means there is more interest from private companies to reach these users and to port their software/products to Linux. Ie Adobe, Games, AutoCAD Suit, etc.

        But why do we want more proprietary software running on Linux? Wouldn’t we be recreating the same situation that Windows has?

        Edit: Why downvote me instead of replying with a reason why I’m “wrong” or discussing further? Is Lemmy turning into Reddit already?

      You’ve never understood how support works? It doesn’t matter that it’s harder to find apps that work on Linux than windows and Mac? It matters less to me than most people but it definitely still matters
