From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There was a lot more I missed when I switched, can't think of anything now. I was going to joke that I miss being 19. But eh, I'm doing better now than I was then.
The lack of a good cad software (fusion 360), and no, freecad and openscad are not worthy equivalents.

If I have to list a single thing that most irritates me on Linux then it is easily copying files to a USB connected drive.
The progress bar passes 100% and I get notification the files were copied but they were in fact not copied yet, it still takes several more minutes until I can actually unplug the connected drive or I'll lose the files.

From macOS: that the basics in UI are so much more consistent and just work. For example shortcuts across apps. This makes me insanely productive.
I miss my computer's performance being held hostage by "Active Protection" feature of Virus scanner!
Not much really. Maybe being able to download random exes for silly shit, but I could always spin up a VM for that.
Playnite
When I switched, about 23 years ago, I missed Moray - the modeller for POVRay. Now I miss nothing.
OneNote.
That's really all. OneNote, on a windows tablet or foldable device with a proper stylus is the bee's knees for knowledge management.
You probably already know but just in case, xournal++ is a good alternative I've been using. Not quite as feature rich but does all the basics. Linux on a windows tablet is a surprisingly usable experience, if a little janky.
I only miss Musicbee on Windows. I've created an offline Windows VM for that one single program.
Keypirinha. Krunner is good but not that good.
Sharex. Spectacle is fine but not perfect.
