Microsoft office suite? Adobe, most DAWs. PCVR.

There are alternatives for some of these things. IMO libreoffice is good, but buggy compared to the MS office suite.

onlyoffice? it saldy uses chromium embedded framework tho.

Basically "professional software" that isn't tech related.
There are fantastic alternatives that are (nearly) transparent for individual users.
There are BETTER alternatives for some software.
But working in a team/company that doesn't prioritise Linux accessibility is painful. And it's pain that people aren't paid to deal with to complete their actual workload.
MS has corporate by the balls.

Libreoffice rules

It's the best office suite for Linux, I just think MS office is a better product. Maybe I'm wrong and it would be great if I was more competent with it.

Honestly, I've just switched (after 27 years of windows) like two months ago, and I don't miss any of that old crap. Not once have I thought "damn, wish I could have this software under Linux", because there was always an alternative.

Arch btw.

Some people were saying MS Office will still run in the browser though and that's 90 percent of my use case these days to be honest.

Yeah that's fair. I'm very into hotkeys and macros to speed up my workflow, so the browser doesn't do it for me.

I do main Linux (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed), but its not a machine I use for doing serious work.
