I have to fend off linux nerds with a bat. The bottom line is “that’s cool and all but there are a lot of things that I can’t do with linux and I’m not willing to make that big of a change”
It’s an adoption problem. My company only supports windows because all our customers use windows. All our customers use windows because all their vendors only support windows.
move to web-based SW - platform-agnostic, so it’s pretty easy to support other OSes (oh, and you get mobile almost for free)
start submitting patches to get stuff working on macOS and Linux - once the barrier to supporting other OSes is low enough, they may let you officially support it
Nothing that cannot be fixed by a Linux install.
For personal computing, sure. For enterprise environment, eh not really.
Or if you’re into online gaming.

The only (larger) enterprises that insist “we depend on Windows” are those with shitty corporate IT :)
