Use that linux mail web app... maybe they will change their minds.

Linux crowd is hard to appease tho

Hopefully one day when we finally hit the year of Linux Desktop this changes.

Currently, gamers are on boarding. I think once critical mass joins with their buying power, things should change.

. I think once we critical mass joins with their buying power, things should change.

Yeah me too, but for that to happen you need to get: Adobe CC, MS Office, Autodesk and a few others the masses use as native desktop apps. The Linux Desktop year will not come until those exist... and until GNOME fixes their shit and stop thinking their users are stupid and desktop icons are useless.

Adobe CC

GNUMPY (GIMP), Kdenlive, Audacity

MS Office

Libre Office

Autodesk

BricsCAD, FreeCAD, etc. ->https://alternativeto.net, https://www.bricsys.com/

Also Autodesk might work on Linux since .NET was recently integrated to major distros, though I'm merely thinking .NET = .NET for AutoCAD which might not be true, or is not the whole picture^1,2,3^.

Those are alternatives not the 100% compatible solutions that professionals who spend 8h/day in front of those tools need.
