There's basically nothing that MacOS or Windows can do that Linux can't. 
Hell, Linux can play Windows games better than Windows 10 can (if they're 
old, anyway). Considering how good GIMP has become though, there is truly 
little reason to buy Photoshop unless you've been trained with it as a 
professional and have gotten accustomed to the interface. For _everyone_ 
else, GIMP is way more than enough.

Neither will I. My wife uses an iPhone 8 Plus from work but even she is 
disgusted with the company and she's a lot more resistant to boycotting 
corporations than I am.

The only company I think I would have trouble boycotting is Puma... but 
if ever they pull some Kapernick-like garbage like Nike did, I'll burn 
the shoes and get me some New Balance.
