Most would point to the lack of the "standard" proprietary apps as the reason why #Linux still has a small marketshare on the desktop. So, the question is: does Linux need more proprietary software to grow and be suitable for everyone, or should we keep to free and #opensource software to ensure these applications get better, faster?

@thelinuxEXP great video. I've been a Linux user at home for over 20 years, but at work more often than not there have been one or two applications that keep me using a Mac or a Windows Machine, that or work requirements to use a specific OS.

I don't use a Mac or Windows at home at all, just work.

I don't know how to use Photoshop, I use GIMP.

I don't know how to use a commercial video editor, I use Kdenlive.

I avoid MS Office like the plague and use Libre, even at work.

But the office keeps me attached, even if minorly to a commercial OS.
