Or grow some self-respect and stop using shit from companies that insist on having an adversarial relationship with you.
Some people can't use an alternative OS, in which case, my tip applies.
Some people think they can't use an alternative OS, but they're wrong.
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.
I understand where you're coming from, but there are some flaws with your reasoning:
Dual boot: and we still come back to my tip being useful
Office: I look at my job and most of our tools are Excel based programs, you can't use Libre Office or other alternatives to open an Excel sheet full of macros and thousands of lines of code and expect it to work
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?
Nah bro just do this account... No big deal trust me bro just do it
