I finally made the jump to Linux desktop last year. I spent a lot of time making sure I could still do my work before doing so, and made sure there was a reasonable amount of entertainment available as well. Some thoughts:
VS Code has become a very capable ecosystem and is now my default code editor
The entire MS Office suite including Visio and Outlook are available in a web browser.
Zoom, Teams and Slack all have native Linux clients
Many Steam games are Linux-native, and many of those that are not run well under SteamPlay/Proton
I can think of very few things in the last year that haven't been possible due to my running Linux. However, the point is taken - things will not run exactly the same. And expecting things to be identical to another OS defeats the purpose.
Exactly, you can do all the stuff with Linux, And Linux has alternative of all. Like for MS Office Linux have Libre Office. Just dig into the things, don't give up easily, Happy Coding 🎉

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
