How many people use Linux vs Windows or Mac?

That's kind of a false equivalency when Adobe has maintained an effective monopoly of artistic creative space. While people like me have been moving toward FOSS creative tools for years, it's only recently that Adobe's stance on older version of their software being piracy weather you obtained them legally or not, is driving artists to reconsider Adobe, and their native OS.

If you don't need the Adobe suite. how many people wouldn't need to use Windows or Mac? Between Apple's decision to boycott MANY card manufacturers, most notable nVidia, and Adobe's strong arm tactics that hold your past work hostage if you choose not to pay their ransom, "the times, they are a changin'".

If you are interested, JCristina has started a series on "Life after Adobe" on his YouTube channel.

If I HAVE to run Poser in a VM, I probably will. But it would be nice if I didn't have too.

How can it be a false equivalency? I would think that to port Poser to native Linux support would be a huge undertaking. I was just asking how many people use Linux vs Windows or Mac is all.

And I'm not quite sure what Adobe has to do with Poser being ported to Linux.
