For me it's Nvidia tech, VR, and HDR, even if they're technically supported, they're much more of a hassle than on Windows.

Funnily enough, I've seen opinions that Windows has awful HDR handling and Plasma is much better, but I don't have a proper HDR display to check. I've also had some success with VR, though I haven't played much on Linux. That said, support from software for those things for Linux is still widely lacking, so it's not much consolation.
The thing with Windows is that it's very much set and forget with HDR. I don't bother with auto HDR since it isn't great, but I just enable HDR, and have RTX HDR handle non-HDR games. I don't really need to touch anything else or launch games in a specific way to get it working. I've tried VR with Linux but I've been spoiled by the accessibility of VD.

Wait, there's something scrawled on the corner down here in crayon...
i'm lazy
I play FFXIV a lot. On Linux, it seems that Teamcraft does not packet capture, so it wonβt autofill my crafting/gathering lists. This is the only thing keeping me from swapping. Sure itβs a tiny thing, but it really helps when Iβm just mindlessly gathering in the game.
I have to keep a spare bootable drive laying around for these muppet companies who only have firmware update mechanisms on windows, my monitor and thunderbolt dock being two that come to mind.

I keep a windows LTSC install around purely for Escape from Tarkov. Everything else I play works great on Linux.
Tax perp software was the only thing I needed it for in the last year. I haven't converted my gaming PC to Linux yet, but I don't anticipate an issue.
It's TruckersMP for me because it's built on .NET libraries and I can't get truckersmp-cli to load my DLCs for whatever reason :|
I need to connect to my work machine with RDP and I tried using Remmina. Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes the special key stop working( ctrls + s will type s instead of saving) Also there are visual glitches on a second monitor. I had to switch back to windows.
Can anyone recommend a different RDP client?
