From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The problem is, sometimes while you might be open to using certain software, the people you need to work with and collaborate make that hard. For instance, Early 2000's, I was tasked with making some weekly magazines. I used Scribus. The people at the printer, of which I had no control over unless I wanted to foot the bill, made life pretty damn miserable because I wasn't using whatever adobe product they were used to. Things worked, but it was a time that I would much rather leave in the past as I can't describe the frustration caused.
... the same as any other industry dominated by proprietary software.
