Finally putting their efforts towards noble causes. I support them.

AKA “The great corporate filter of the 21st century”.

I’d classify them as messengers rather than social networks.

People who use windows or Mac for anything but development do so for the same reasons as you, they are locked into some features. For example, at home I need a local music library manager with local sync to my phone music app and smart playlists. Mac is still the only platform with this.

At work I need MS exchange integration and all the features of native office. Even the Mac version isn’t good enough for my workflow.

My only hope would be to turn to emulators or something like that, but at that point I’m not really running Linux anyway. I’m just running something else in a container inside Linux.
