From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

OneNote.
That's really all. OneNote, on a windows tablet or foldable device with a proper stylus is the bee's knees for knowledge management.
You probably already know but just in case, xournal++ is a good alternative I've been using. Not quite as feature rich but does all the basics. Linux on a windows tablet is a surprisingly usable experience, if a little janky.
I kind of miss being able to play League of Legends, bit I guess staying away from that crack is a blessing in disguise.
Bluestacks for me :(
Ohhh yeahhh Same :(, especially am a nvidia user and way droid only supports wayland and only amd and intel gpus.

I miss my computer's performance being held hostage by "Active Protection" feature of Virus scanner!
From macOS: that the basics in UI are so much more consistent and just work. For example shortcuts across apps. This makes me insanely productive.
The lack of a good cad software (fusion 360), and no, freecad and openscad are not worthy equivalents.

Effort free gaming on Windows
I'll acknowledge that gaming is much better than when I entered the field 20 years ago,
but it was so nice being able to just install a game and have it function instead of install a game and play the 50/50 gamble of whether or not it's going to have some bug that forces me to go online and search the issue.
Proton DB has been a lifesaver for most issues that have occurred, but there are still so many games that have obscure problems that while not all of them prevent you from playing at all, a good portion of them have issues with them that dampen the gaming experience.
And as a bonus one, the lack of a decent Android emulator. I have tried so many different emulators for Android, and all of them work notoriously worse than BlueStacks did on Windows and a lot of times take up double the space it did. As a person who plays a lot of mobile games that require constant looking at, it was so much easier to just have it running in BlueStacks on the third monitor and then just look at it when needed

I only miss Musicbee on Windows. I've created an offline Windows VM for that one single program.
