And why do you use them?
Steam
vibeogames
Steam probably.
Reaper. Great usability and decent Linux support out of the box (looking at you, davinci resolve). Generous free trial and a cheap one-time payment for a license. LMMS has served me well and is fine for basic stuff, but reaper is a whole other level, both in features and usability. I’ve heard good things about ardour too but have yet to give it a try.
Although I don’t use them, the Jetbrains products should be near the top of the list.
DaVinci Resolve is THE video editor on Linux. Unfortunately the libre apps for it don’t get even close, to the point that even with all the limitations in the free and paid versions, it still is the best option.
Also shout out to Bitwig Studio, although I don’t use it.
KDEndlive is pretty solid, imho
Dungeondraft, Wonderdraft, FoundryVTT. Battle map making, world map making, and virtual table top respectively
I know you can’t make battle maps with it but have you hear of azgaar ? It’s an awesome open source world map maping web app !
I would never willingly use proprietary software. I don’t mind paying if I also have access to source code that is licensed foss.
That’s nice. Some of us have work to get done though.
Use work machines for work. Compartmentalized when you can.
And use Linux for work, what’s your point? You seem to imply Linux is only for personal.
My point is that you should not be spending time trying to use Linux on a work device.
Am Linux Sysadmin, so I actually spend ALL of my work time trying to use Linux on work devices.
