Can't wait until Linux supports QuickBooks, SolidWorks, and the other software I need.
(Maybe I need to clarify that this isn't sarcasm? If I could run QuickBooks and SolidWorks on Linux, I would be switching several dozen PCs to Linux)

My job used to be (not anymore) Tech Support Specialist, and I needed to use Zoom most of the time to take control of the device and make the changes. We also used heavily the voice call feature so I was able to give instructions. Other software like TeamViewer had pricing that did not make sense to us, and other tech support software did not have voice call support, so it made assistance less straightforward.
Well, back then (2016-2018), I tried Ubuntu, and the Zoom client was not as polished as it was on Windows. It got in the way by confusing my keystrokes with meeting controls, and it was just very quirky in general.
Maybe today is different, but I'm not a Tech Support Specialist anymore. However, I feel very comfortable using Windows. I don't feel compelled to make the change to Linux, where other software I use could be a quirky experience again.
Well QuickBooks is moving everything online and their backend stuff looks like it can run on Linux. For CAD it looks like OnShape and not much else - FreeCAD just IMHO isn't up to par for commercial use yet.
I feel like Redhat or some other distro should have a small business variant that comes with some options for the common business stuff. Someone needs to flesh out finance, CRM, HR, inventory, purchasing, and payroll software or do a decent integration of FLOSS options. Maybe include some online services as options where the free stuff isn't there yet.
