Yeah office products and vide editors have Linux alternatives, but to me the main offenders are Native Instruments Maschine (proprietary USB controller that doesn't work in Linux + software that doesn't work in Linux) and DTP software like Affinity Publisher or Adobe Indesign that have no Linux equivalent.

I'm lookin into running those things in a Windows KVM in Linux though but it's quite the project.
