@GenderNeutralBro Instead of being Windows compatible: Microsoft 365 is Linux compatible (They have MS Edge on Linux and everything is running in a web app), so for me there is no need to use Windows ever again. What is it that you really need to use Windows? I think 90% of normal users could deal with Linux nowadays.
On the home computing side, I can’t think of much that has specific OS requirements besides gaming and DRM’d 4K streaming. For better or worse, most desktop apps nowadays are glorified web sites. It’s a different world today than it was 20 years ago.
On the enterprise side, nah. Way too many vendors with either no Linux support or removedty Linux support.
Microsoft is working hard to shove “New Outlook” down everyone’s throats despite still not having feature parity with old Outlook. Nobody in my company will want to use it until it is forced because we need delegated and shared calendars to actually work. And then there’s the “you can take my 80GB .pst files when you pry them from my cold dead hands” crowd. Advanced Excel users are not happy with the web version either, and I don’t blame them.

I hate new Outlook. Might as well switch the whole company to Yahoo mail or Hotmail. :D
CAD software.
@NauticalNoodle Yes, indeed, that is a special use case that is not covered well by Linux software.
Edit: There are some apps for it but I never heared anyone using it.
