Microsoft Access and Publisher, the Adobe suite, VR. That's just the tip of the iceberg of why I can't completely abandon Windows, yet. I do have a handful of older PCs running Mint though, and I'll be switching over more. But not all of them.
Ok, I really need to know what you're using Access for in 2025
Old nonprofit, old files, continuously maintained for about 30 years now. Tiny staff, not many resources to work on migrating the files. It's just not a missional priority.
That's pretty impressive. We migrated an Access DB onto an SQL be about 4 years ago. Was an absolute nightmare
Publisher is being discontinued soon and will be removed from Microsoft 365 installs
I've never used 365. I use a 2019 purchased version. I refuse to pay subscriptions. But my job has a lot of graphics that were created and are still updated in publisher. I'm sure I can find an alternative, but recreating hundreds of files will be terrible, and it will likely all fall on me. And that's only like 5% of my job.
For VR, https://lvra.gitlab.io/ is a pretty good resource for the state of VR support on Linux currently. Check their supported hardware table.
