This is the worst Venn diagram ever. The overlaps and categories are clearly just arbitrarily labelled. There are just too many combinations that are possible in reality, but not according to this diagram.
I get that it's fun to shit on windows, but please respect the Venn diagram
-
This is not necessarily a Venn diagram and it's not labelled as such anywhere in the post. You're attacking your own incorrect assumption.
Edit: Nevermind, I'm dumb. People keep complaining about stuff like this not being a proper Venn diagram even when it's not called that, I got my wires crossed and forgot this actually is a Venn diagram. Sorry.

Put a circle around all 3 and label it Linux.
-
I would do it, but you can't make circles in GIMP ;/
-
Sure you can! See?

Yeah I think I am doing the Stockholm syndrome thing too. But as the futo keyboard chap said: is the software you use serving your needs or the needs of the creators?
Some things are indeed more difficult. But if it's a simple Python script even I can make a PR to help out. And the feeling of using software that isn't designed to send my data back to a megacorp is fucking awesome. So I'm in, I think?

I thought this was Linuxmemes.
Not Windows memes.
Because this is yet an other meme that doesn't even mentions Linux.

Junkies also say "i need this for work". In fact i bet thats a major contributing factor in a lot of addictions - not having 2-7 days free where you can detox and be a sweaty emotional disgusting mess.

Where's the circle of? I have a Nvidia graphics card and I can't switch to steam?
-
Problems with nvidia is really the only reason I'm still on Windows.

It's my understanding this is pretty much a non-issue now. Try a Bootable USB of Garuda Dragonized Gaming (which is an Arch based distro designed for gaming) and test if it works. You'd be surprised at how easy things are.

I need it for Rhino + Grasshopper (well, I guess I could run it on a Mac, but I'd lose GPU acceleration).
Everything else is Kubuntu LTS for me, though I am enjoying Garuda Linux on an old laptop.

The main two reasons for people not using linux are:
- I don't have willpower/time to learn it.
- I'm afraid I can't find my favorite software alternative.
And while we can all agree that Gimp/Krita/RawTherapee are decent alternatives to Adobe's suite, you would have to relearn everything you've been doing for the last x years.
Switch Adobe for AutoCAD or any other proprietary tools.
My only suggestion for anyone in those situations is setting up the tools in a VM, but that's a lot of work figuring out how, and it will be sluggish and power-intensive.

Sunk cost fallacy
-
Tbf if you play games like pubg or bf1 bf5 etc , you need windows. Otherwise, windows would not really be needed at all.
-
If only Affinity worked on Linux I wouldn’t even need a Windows VM.
-
Look, as a Windows user, at least I recognize I have a problem. Just ... one... more ...boot.
