Unless... you have a personal or professional need to use apps that don't work on Linux.

I tried very hard to switch to Linux full time some months ago, but I couldn't find a way of getting Microsoft Office to work satisfactorily. There are clever packaged versions of Outlook and Teams, but I need full native installed versions of Word/Excel/Powerpoint, and there just wasn't a good solution. That was a deal breaker, sadly, so I'm back on Mac for the time being.

Other examples would be some of the popular games with anti-cheat that requires Windows.
