Buy-in from HW manufacturers, specifically related to audio production. Yes, can often hack your way into making a lot of the SW work (unsupported, of course), but HW support isn’t there. My NI Maschine is a non-starter - I might be able to hack together someway to get it to send receive basic midi, but that’s just a small part of why I own it. My audio interface might be cajoled into working, but it’s not supported and therefore not something I can really afford to invest into depending on beyond the fun of experimenting.

I also wish there was a alternative to Adobe Lightroom. Yes, I know about Darktable (it’s great), but the Adobe secret sauce is the bi-directional integration with mobile for lossless edits and catalogue management. This sort of thing is very, very hard to pull off in FOSS-land. (I’d even be happy if Adobe supported Linux.)

I have no issue with paying for functionality/services I need (I don’t want a free ride), but I wish the option was there.

So, I’m basically stuck with Windows and WSL.
