I think you vastly underestimate how many edgecases there actually are. Every one edge case might be a small userbase, but combined, all those small userbases make a significant userbase for whom Linux is less than ideal. And (just a hunch) on Lemmy, this % of users is actually larger than the population at large. Tech-savy people tend to use more obscure programs.
Some edgecases I happen to know(because I happen to fall into three edgecase groups!)
VR
adobe stuff
Many music plugins
Those are two creative edgecases. And I believe using your PC for creative work is actually quite a significant userbase.
And sometimes even IF a product is supposedly supported on Linux, it doesn't work straight up. I recently tried to install Ubiquity's Unify program on my Pop!OS, but nope, errors before even installing. Happened to need all kinds of weird dependencies that are outdated and are hard to install. Even when following Ubiquity's install guide. On windows it just worked. Another edgecase, but it adds up.
So I disagree on your "majority" statement. Especially on Lemmy, I don't believe that to be true at all.
3D models aren't tied to Unity, so all 3D models could probably easily be imported to Unreal.
Unity also has a 3D model exporter, so they could have used that to get all 3D models positions into Unreal within minutes.
E: still stuff like animations and game logic obviously take more time. Not trying to say that porting a whole game can be done in minutes, just the 3D Models.
Weird. As a die-hard collectathon lover I thought the game was "ok". I played it after all the patches. Some challenges were ridiculous and unfun, worlds felt empty and too big at times. Controls were okay. Still fun to explore the worlda and find challenges.
From the steampage:
MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EVER – With an art and animations overhaul and enhanced performance and resolution, the favourite buddy duo has never looked or moved better.
NEW AND IMPROVED CHALLENGES – Improvements to existing in-game challenges and many entirely new challenges to discover and undertake!
NEW COLLECTIBLE CURRENCY – Capital B's inept minions have dropped their hard-earned coins all over the place. Collect the official currency of the Hivory Towers to spend on video games' most beloved sentient vending machine.
NAVIGATING THE WORLD – Now you can get lost in the game, not in the world! A brand-new world map and challenges tracker helps you know where you are and what needs to be done. Hooray!
VENDI HAS PLENTY TO OFFER – Tonics are back with all new flavours! With the option to equip multiple game-changing enhancements, you can truly customise your playstyle. And as if that wasn't enough, Vendi has new lines of merchandise for the modern fashionable adventurer.
REVISED CONTROLS & CAMERA – A new tweaked move set allows you to combine moves more fluidly while the new camera controls makes framing the action a breeze.
A DREAMY ORCHESTRAL SOUNDTRACK – The original score from famed video game composers Grant Kirkhope (Banjo-Kazooie) and David Wise (Donkey Kong Country) returns but as a beautifully arranged orchestral score. Now seriously, clean out those ears
Especially like the addition of the map and the new collectable. We'll see if the updated challenges get rid of/fix the terrible ones.
If she used adobe suite for so many years, it would currently be agony to try and switch. It will take months, maybe even years to unlearn and relearn stuff properly.
Unless she only uses it for some simple cropping or something. Maybe you can add what kind of tools she actually uses?
As others have stated: you don't necessarily need to read music for it to be fun. And there are different ways of notation. Chords, for example, are a great way to learn music without having to read on a per note basis.
Acoustic guitar is fairly easy to pick up. It will take a few days of pain to get your fingers accustomed to pressing the strings though. Takes quite some pressure from your fingers. But after those first few days, you're golden. It's also easier to change in which "key" you play a song(oversimplified: how high or low the whole song is).
Piano is another pretty easy instrument to learn chords on. The upside of piano is that you won't have pain in the fingers for your first few days. You press and you'll have a sound. It is harder to play in different "keys" though.
Keyboard is an interesting one too: You'll learn chords like with the piano, but you'll have acces to more sounds, backing tracks etc in your keyboard if you'd go that route.
Flutes and such are quite easy to get into, but can be a bit less interesting if you only play on your own.
But in the end, most instruments takes practice and time. Just set your own goals on what you find important.
Posted this somewhere else too, but saying Theremin is easy is just crazy. It is one of, if not THE most precise instrument there is.
The pitch can vary per session if you happen to have different CLOTHES on. It is that precise. Carolina Eyck on Youtube has some great videos about the basics. She shows how complicated playing tonally is with a Theremin.
Easy to have fun with though, but playing along with other music is really hard. You need very good ears to succesfully play a Theremin
Hmm, I'd say the Theramin is easy to have fun with, but to actually learn to play songs it is up there in difficulty with the violin. It is one of, if not THE most precise instrument there is.

Yeah totally!
