For me it's music production and development. Development isn't hard to move over but IIRC Renoise and FL Studio aren't friendly with Linux. Actually I don't know if any of the major DAWs run on nix.

reaper has native linux support

I thought renoise has a linux version that works, but you might have issues getting all vst's to work properly. there are compatibility programs like carla that should help.

you can get fl studio running with wine/bottles but it would be better if there were native versions.

Compatibility layers always make things a little unstable. With proton it's gotten significantly better, but that doesn't always translate to audio apps. The only way to know if it will work is to set everything up and test it.

If you ever tried to mess with audio on linux in the past, it's gotten a whole lot easier with pipewire. There are very few config issues now.

Renoise has had a native Linux version for literally decades at this point lol

Although getting it set up is not as simple as setting the audio API to Wasapi and Bob's your uncle.

For VSTs you can try yabridge for your Windows guys

Ok you convinced me to give this an honest shake. If I cam use Renoise and Vital, or even a workaround for Vital, and the audio drivers aren't so bad that I can't plug in Midi controllers then we're good to go. I can keep a Windows install around for games but for daily use Linux sounds great
