Unpopular opinion: Linux doesn't suffer from lack of software, but rather, offers better alternatives to windows/mac software.

  • "Better" is subjective. And in many categories, I agree with you overall. There are ofc some places where Windows has better more functional and more stable software (application firewalls for instance). Linux does have them but many of the alternatives don't work/require a lot of effort to get going and the one that does isn't as good stable and feature-rich. Ofc the Linux one is FOSS which I appreciate a lot but that doesn't negate the other qualities. Besides afw's, I've seen a few other niche areas where Windows has more options (that unfortunately don't work well in Wine) such as locally installed tax software (some people don't like doing it on websites) and legal software (writing wills, business contacts, etc).
