It is well possible (and even encouraged) to actively despise both Microsoft's enshittification of its software and the harassments by the Stockholm syndrome'd Linux community.

As opposed to the MS Stockholm syndrome going on here?

Is that a thing? I don’t think I have ever heard someone defend microslop on here and you can bet it’s different for Linux.

I meant more the comment I was replying to rather than Lemmy as a whole.

It’s a bit Stockholmy to say “I know it’s completely entitling and awful but I don’t want to switch to a free alternative “

I’m kind of in the same boat though. Compatibility still breaks lots of things people don’t think about.

  • music production (that’s me)
  • video editing & pp
  • architecture software & planning software
  • legally compliant software for taxes, etc.
  • various GIS software
  • very specific closed source hardware

There’s quite a few people I can confidently recommend Linux to, but there’s also a bunch I can’t.

I tried setting up my DAW setup with external plugins and even with huge limitations I couldn’t get it to work. I tried 8 times, with 5 different configurations. This is not feasible.
