it is not easy because there are critical software that people used to work that are not available in Linux such as MS Excel, solidworks, Adobe Suites.

If people need Adobe software for "critical" use cases, then maybe Linux just isn't for them? Why do we have to behave as though Linux needs to be a perfect glove fit for everyone for it to be a valid option? Lemmy is a reddit alternative. Its not for everyone and that's fine. Same goes for Linux.

What irritates me most are people that are square pegs complaining they don't fit in a round hole. Either choose to adapt or stick with the square hole and get over it.

Excel definitely has alternatives on Linux that are great, but there's absolutely nothing even close to the Adobe Suite, no matter how hard people want to try and cope, nothing compares.

Macros on excel especially with vba are very important and that is why Excel is an industry standard for spreadsheet software. BYW, no alternatives with strong compatibility with that.
