Financial tracking (Quicken) - only available for Windows. Linux financial programs don't have nearly sufficient features to do daily automatic transaction tracking, handle stock splits, identify long vs. short term cap gains, etc.I would think for many folks ,"home use" centers around a web browser and the underlying operating system really does not come into play that much.
I am curious what "traditional" thing works better with Windows?
Tax prep (Turbo Tax) - only available for Linux if you're willing to give your data away using their cloud/web based offering.
Photography and image manipulation (Photoshop & Lightroom) - No real equivalent for Linux.
Programming (Visual Studio) - There is no better integrated editing, compiling and debugging solution for Linux.
Office suite (Word & Excel) - I've no idea what Libreoffice has to offer but I'm not inclined to learn about it when I am already fluent with Office.
My 'daily driver' is a Windows laptop (either Intel or AMD) and I don't see that changing any time soon. I'll always choose the most practical and cost effective approach. I don't care whether it's ARM or X86, Linux or Windows, as long as it's friction free. Actually I do favor American corporations, but not much. China has won me over in a few cases lately.
