Its almost always tools and programs used in their professional life. The 365 suite, adobe suite, fusion 360, simulation programs, …
Yes i know there are free or alternative options, but they are never as good or powerful as the full on suites that have existed since the dawn of time.
Ive been running linux ( dual boot with windows ) on my work laptop for 9 months at this point and i love it. But sometimes, i do have to boot windows for one of the professional suite programs.
For me the 365 suite (including copilot) all works great inside Firefox on Mint. But I work in software so the other everyday stuff is pretty well available.
I assume some day I’ll need to boot back into windows for something, but it’s already Ben months.
Depends, im a power user that does all kind of things on my pc. Gaming but also other workloads, so ill be dual booting with linux as my main soon anyway

Fair, but in the context of gaming I doubt there are that many people gaming on their work machine.

Yeah, I’ve been spoiled because most of the heavier workloads I do is all programming related and Linux tends to be better there.
I have had issues with Autodesk products, but I’m able to get 99% of what I need with freecad.
If you have a large work budget, then Siemens NX (version 12 or less) runs on RHEL or SUSE.
