Which apps are those? Just curious - I know there are others in this situation and I'm always interested in hearing what apps are the blocking ones for a transition from Windows.

Photoshop for me. Yeah I can get it running under Linux, but it keeps crashing, or is buggy.
And no, Gimp is not a good replacement if anyone goes there.

This always makes me laugh when people suggest it. Like, CMYK support didn't get introduced to Gimp until 2022 ffs, and it's not even full support.

For me it's Fusion 360. The launcher for it opens your browser to log you in via the Web. Wine doesn't seem to support that.

DCS has some sort of time/zone issue preventing me from logging in.

My MX Master scroll wheel behaves oddly.

Other than that it's been not awful since I switched to Linux last month.

Mine is the Affinity suite of image manip software. I don't use it often, but I do use it often enough that I maintain a Windows box to be able to do so. That and I play a few games occasionally (at this point pretty rarely) that just work better/at all under Windows rather than Linux. Like 90% of what I do with my computers is great under Linux, but those last few elements make me not want to dump Windows entirely.
