I don't know what the big deal is.

The big deal is for the past 23 years or so, most of the world has been
running some lame version of the worlds worst operating system on their
home PC.

I've been running linux since 2001 and haven't looked back.

I guess it doesn't bother you that 99% of the software available doesn't
run on linux, or that only a computer geek can possible know where to
get it, how to install it, or how to use it.

Most software runs on linux and as far as I'm concerned better. Where do you
think FireFox came from? Open Office works perfect and cross platforms with
MS office or word. There's easy alternative to any program offered by
MicroCrap and others. Most all programs now are easy to install. I run
Virtual Box and can easily run Windblows but don't because of all the
obvious reasons. Think you need to have another look at Linux, its very user
friendly and not the so called "nightmare" you once thought it was...

So what's the Linux equivalent of AutoCAD? The Linux CAD programs I
know of are badly crippled, abandoned, or so expensive that the cost of
a Windows license is negligible in comparison.

How about the equivalent of Corel Painter? And if you say "Gimp" you
have no clue what Corel Painter does.
