I'm primarily a PC gamers and so many games would not be accessible to me if I made the switch to Linux, not to mention quote a few programs I use for my job. I tried to make the switch a few times and was not able to because of this.

If the games you play are competitive ones, sure. Only because the devs or publishers actively choose to exclude linux. So far, I've yet to try a game that hasn't worked on linux.

What are programs that you use for work that don't have linux equivalents or are incompatible? I've made the full switch, but if I really need to, I can remote into a Windows work computer for specific things like SAP access.

Can you help me get Septerra Core running in Linux? most games older than windows 7 don’t work in my experience. Septerra Core even apparently has a wine wrapper and I still can’t get it to work :(

There's still a lot of games that don't work in linux due to antcheat not working. A lot of the big online competitive games don't work.
