luckily for my line of work and hobbies linux has been great, for work I am required to use a windows laptop but luckily all our appliances we make are linux machines so we just use one of them as a test bench that we ssh into and use that for all our testing of our other appliances since the windows machine is so locked down by IT we cant really use our laptops for production. for home use I mostly just use the browser like 80% of the time then photo editing and little music learning using a little focusrite interface to be able to listen to my piano and videos at the same time and basic recording for playback to see how I did. I never tried to run windows software on linux other than games through steam and proton, I always just looked for alternatives which luckily wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to be
