From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use Windows for Photoshop, Topaz AI, Office, and some games. -It's not replacing Windows.
It's my machine?
They meant it as a literal replacement of the OS, as in to run everything you could on win on linix os .
In your case it is possible, due to not using said programs, just using something else, or just going without them.
Then why are we reading about it?

It's best practice to actually read the posy before commenting rather than commenting on the post title and ignoring its text.
