There's still some stuff I'm tied to Windows for, namely music players (MusicBee and Apple Music but they can be used in a VM) and VR. But it's nice to see Linux growing.
Bruh, just use Spotify or VLC, XD. But VR, I think I can understand.
vlc sucks for music because it doesn't have gapless playback, and not everyone wants to use a streaming service.
My music player suggestions for local playback on Linux. Please note that you could pick any of these no matter the desktop environment if you do not care about consistently in look and feel. In that case I suggest to go with Strawberry.
I'd add Quod Libet as another solid GTK pick, though I'm happily using it on KDE.
Quod Libet was one I tried. Doesn't quite scratch the itch MusicBee gives me, but still solid nonetheless. Tauon Music Box is a gorgeous looking player that's similar.
