Gaming on Linux is pretty good nowadays. I’ve only run into one or two games I couldn’t get working. The vast majority of games work with Proton right out of the box
Office on the Web can work for many people. I don’t know how many people actually use speciality softwares outside of Office, they must not be many. Games are pretty much click and play now, only some pesky anti-cheat that demands kernel access remains, but not every gamer plays those games.
Adobe suite is another big one. I know folks who have to use windows for Premier, Photoshop, illustrator ect. If Adobe ported their stuff to Linux, that would be a huge shift in the market
Let’s hope Adobe continues to extract ever more money out of its clients, so that the libre alternatives can get a chance for chipping it away at the edges, since there are many sectors where they are more in parity than libreoffice with microsoft office.

Just give up on any productivity software. And any specialty software unrelated to programming. And games.
