That’s bullshit. I can’t do my work without connecting to exchange. It’s not something I can find an alternative for.

I don’t know what “exchange” is but I’m willing to bet there is a suitable replacement. It will likely require some level of effort. Usually because corporations dont want you to leave so they make it as difficult as possible. Linux doesnt care a whole lot if you come or go. Its made for YOU to do what YOU want to do with it. It doesn’t sound like youre willing to put forward any level of effort.

Your post also reads with a lot of contempt.

People love to go around telling people to move to Linux, but then expect everyone to sacrifice all the useful stuff they do with their computers to do so.

Most people don’t need to sacrifice anything. I didn’t. Other than time…

Until desktop Linux can cover basic desktop use cases it will be a useless endeavor for most people.

These absolutely do not resemble “basic” use-cases.

I don’t think music, photo, document management and groupware should be some unobtainable goal for a desktop os.

And it’s not.

Linux is a great option for a lot of people, maybe just not for you.
