    get that and other common specialty software like autocad and stuff to run reliably, and there would be even less of a barrier for people to switch. i wish valve sponsored more of this work beyond running games. i love that it does but most people’s bread and butter must come here.

      Why would they want to do that? If there’s sufficient demand, companies like Adobe have enough billions in change to fund that effort.

        I think linux PC vendors (Tuxedo, system76) have to fund stuff like this at the beginning, at least until we have not only a single digit percentage of market share running linux…

        I mean profit oriented companies only invest in stuff they think they can yield something from later

        yeah that’s a problem. but we also need a lot of work on this side of wine.

        they can certainly bring more people to their platform at a time computers are getting expensive to build, but integrators buying in bulk can wrestle better prices.
