Yeah, that's small little thing, that everyone uses it. I've been waiting to get away from WhatsApp for years, but I would be an idiot to say that I can get away from it and still communicate with my family and friends via text.

The gang solved the Argentinian inflation.... music starts
So you can say Yucatan is Mexico, the same way Ubuntu is Linux. Or the same way people say Windows, instead of Microsoft Windows NT.
OP is technically correct, but that's not how people express themselves in real life, there's an unspoken understanding in the community that when someone says Linux (when talking in a general sense), there's no way they are referring to the kernel only.
I use linux 50% of my time, I'm not going to ditch my job so I can use it 100%, lol. What kind of advice is that for someone who wants to use linux.
I mean, that's what I do. Will I be able to convince my 60 yo colleague that had been using the same workflow for decades? No, not a chance.
That's my point, I use linux as much as I can, but if 80% of your colleagues use Windows... You don't have much choice.
I wish Wine worked well enough to use Excel. We are not talking about adding up numbers in a cell. Once you include macros, or a reference manager in Word, Wine is not good enough. The same can be said about propietary software, like autocad, or software used to control equipment. Also, good luck convincing a regular user to get familiar with wine.
WPS is great for simple files. Again, not good enough for complex files, especially if it is a corporate collaboration environment. I have lost count on the amount of ppt files that didn't display well when it used WPS.
Every other year I try all the alternatives you mention, hoping they got better, and I always come back to use a dual boot or a virtual machine, which is not a thing your regular user wants to do.
But can it run proprietary software used in the industry? From Excel to Photoshop, if you are in a collaborative professional environment, you can't run away from those, and don't tell me you can use the alternatives in Linux, because no, you can't. This is not linux fault, but it's still an issue you can't handwave.
I love linux, but you can't expect people to adopt it just because it's objectively better than windows.
You can have something similar to what music streamers are doing. Sure Spotify has a majority, but you still have perfectly fine competitors.
I had not pirated music for more than a decade now.
A cheap USB hub solves everything you are describing. You can just leave it dangling from behind.
Saying that, I'm not in favour of only usb-c motherboard though.
Thanks for the info, but wtf... Maybe I'm out of touch, but that gibberish sounds more like gatekeeping.
Data plans exists, but there is no good middle ground. You have the unlimited 4g connection for 20 USD , or the WhatsApp only for a few dollars.
Most of the people, specially older age or people who already have unlimited data from work phones, do not need 4g unlimited connection, so why spend extra 15 USD (which is a lot in latin America), if you can still communicate perfectly fine via WhatsApp.
