I play and mod a lot of older games most of which aren’t on Steam, so getting some of them running takes a bit more manual effort especially if they require a 3rd party patch to run on modern hardware.
Normally it’s pretty simple like declaring some extra DLL files, But sometimes I’m jumping through hoops trying to get some old installer than hasn’t been updated since 2009 to run…
I’ve had more success than failures though, Wine is pretty amazing imo.
iTunes is probably the biggest, people with iDevices have a harder time with GNU/Linux
Tbf, that’s by iDesign. They want you to stay in their iEcosystem and spend more money on their products, if they allowed interoperability you might say go with Linux instead of Mac, or something. So take out a loan and buy another iProduct, good iConsumer!
Well you can use iTunes on Windows, so it’s not as if it was only on MacOs.
Online games just working.
I know, I’m probably off better without Chinese and Korean rootkits installed, but Infinity Nikki looks so darn comfy to play.
Oh, and HDR and 144Hz. Both in X-Server as well as in Wayland, over a good DP, I can select 199.98Hz at best. Never managed to fix it. Same computer, monitor and cable used to do 144Hz just fine on Windows, before.
HDR is really gone, though, but I don’t miss that as much.Nothing.
Man, I just want Foundry VTT to work on my second monitor, it used to work but all the distros that moved over to Wayland DEs exclusively mean that I can’t use the thing I want and have the laptop do it’s one job of displaying foundry on my table TV. I guess what I really want is for Nvidia so put out better Wayland drivers.
Isn’t Foundry just a website? What’s stopping you from putting a browser window on your second monitor?
I think the module I’m using, which could be Kingmaker or any number of other modules, might be gpu accelerated. Idk why exactly, but having the view for my players on the second monitor while mine is on the main causes it to dramatically slow down and freeze within a minute or so, to the point where the browser window doesn’t click and drag. All I really know is that it works on xorg and not on Wayland, and no distro that runs well in this accursed laptop is stable (endeavor OS turned off my Nvidia drivers in an update and ran everything through the amd apu) or comes with an xorg version of the DE (Fedora Bazzite also doesn’t have this, but at least it works otherwise). I transitioned to a purely online game at that time for other reasons, but I was looking longingly at how Windows users don’t have to put up with that bullshit, or at least not nearly as much.
For some reason my computer lags a lot but that might be because I have way too many tabs.
BBEdit.
It makes every other GUI text editor look like a joke.

Windows update holding me hostage like the slut I am
I miss the Sync software for my Palm Pilot. I also miss my Palm Pilot, anyway, as well, though.
Wifi + bluetooth connectivity simultaneous. It’s my own fault, though, as the machine I run is an iMac 5k from late 2014…
League of Legends 🥹 But I guess I’m gonna find some kind of virtualization alternative or perhaps doing a dual boot for it with a bogus windows system
consistent middle click to scroll in all programs.
I only miss Musicbee on Windows. I’ve created an offline Windows VM for that one single program.
Shortcuts to move windows on xfce (there’s somekind of python script but i don’t want to bother) and discord and a few xorg wrapped apps are so fucking laggy on wayland
