I don’t daily drive Linux (though I use Tmux and Vim 8 hours a day if that counts for anything) so take this with a grain of salt. Would those companies jumping to Linux really be a problem? Steam is embracing Linux and it seems like it’s legitimized Linux gaming in a way that people never thought was possible. I hate Adobe, but how would Photoshop Linux edition prevent you from using open source alternatives?
It wouldn't but since these software companies (Autodesk as another example) have a monopoly, I doubt that most windows users for some reason would switch to Foss alternatives - thet already have that ability with windows. I fear that Linux basically becomes windows in terms of what software is primarily used, i.e protritary software.
My premise is that Linux and its user space applications should be free software and that the community should fight back against non-foss in this space.
