I would like to pose a question to any and every #linux desktop user! How can we encourage and promote that big companies should bring their applications to the Linux desktop?
The user base is now there for many to where it can be profitable.

@micahbp I don't think it can be profitable for big companies in most cases. The whole development and support organization for an infinite number of distributions is probably super expensive. And good luck finding people for the Linux support role! Maybe they are willing to fire and forget a Linux containerized app when possible...
@thijsvanulden This is for sure a fair point. Blackmagic though has several applications on Linux and have straight up told me that they don't offer over the phone and email support for Linux desktop. If they targeted just Ubuntu and/Fedora they would cover the vast majority of users and the users that doesn't support would be technical enough to get it to work most likely. Or even better, a LOT of applications could come to Linux via a #flatpak
