Yeah, when I switched from Linux I had to give up Fusion360, and now am using OnShape. I’m also not generally talking about companies, at work I’m still required to use Windows, and that’s kinda understandable, though I could do my job on Linux. I am a creator, and do wish some of the alternatives for CC apps were better, but I also never considered giving money to Adobe, even when I used Windows.
Just let me know when I can install heavy Windows-only apps to Linux and I will make the switch in a second. A couple of examples: SOLIDWORKS CAD or PTC Creo (and related apps), Adobe CC (well for this there at least are foss alternatives but not fully compatible/comparable).
For a company, switching a CAD system for example would cost major $$$ and any automatic conversion is nowhere near complete, so you’d basically have to redraw everything relevant from scratch with the new system. Also there simply does not appear to be any major CAD system supporting Linux, NX used to but not anymore.
