The only few reason I know so far is software availability, like adobe software, and Microsoft suite. Is there more of major reasons that I missed?

I gave up on linux because it made academic collaboration difficult as a grad student. I spent too long trying to make a system to bridge the gap between mac/windows and linux, and not enough time on research. Professors don’t care that you use arch btw, they just want results, and will not be forgiving if you explain that linux is what’s slowing you down.

this is actually my case lol, no way I'm writing thesis in libreoffice or onlyoffice if I didn't have much experience of using it

Why aren't you using LaTeX to write your thesis though?

Because I haven't heard that app at the time, and none of my colleagues use it
