   Linux is actually a supported platform for Microsoft 365.

   Don’t get hung up on brand names. Try Xero. Companies prefer   
   cloud-based stuff nowadays, anyway.

   Adobe products are not really suitable for advanced document   
   workflows. There are a much greater variety of PDF toolkits available   
   on Linux than those proprietary apps on Windows.

   Seems like it’s not a very popular app; maybe use something more   
   modern ?

   I did once write a Python script to decode telemetry information from   
   movies recorded on GoPro cameras. Ran fine on Linux for my tests, even   
   though my client was using it on Windows.

   do you think that would add to the Linux user base?
