Note, I don't know how comprehensive this wiki list is, just quick research

From those, I'm only currently using a handful.

balenaEtcher, Discord, Synergy, and Obsidian

The viability of linux isn't dependent on them though

Spotify, Steam

Oh dang, is that the overheard of the software framework it uses? I think that’s what this thread was about but I can’t remember.
