I think almost every Microsoft product has a FOSS alternative (that works in windows usually too) if you want to get away from them. GamePass/The Xbox app/Windows store doesn’t, but that’s almost it. If there isn’t an alternative, it’s not unlikely that it’ll work through WINE. What software specifically are you looking for?

Ableton Live with plugins is osx or windows. Windows if you want custom hardware in any meaningful sense.

Microsoft office and games with anticheat are two big categories.

God I love people that pretend switching to Linux is for everyone. They’re the same dipshits that install Mint on their grandmothers machine without asking, then get defensive when she takes issue with it.

I want to say that there’s no way people would install Linux without consent on someone else’s machine, but people have done crazier things.
