It's being worked on: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/02/how-to-enable-libreoffice...

Many games don't port to Linux until all users have switched. It's a chicken-egg problem :(

You already don't need to do that. Intel and AMD's open-source drivers are included in the kernel and nVidia's driver can be installed without recompiling the kernel.

The games are getting better. Just over half of my steam library works at the moment. Not sure when it happened but over the last 2 years I noticed more and more things being available. It's no longer just low quality indie stuff.

If any Blizzard game would be ported, that would truly be a milestone (StarCraft 2 with WINE is a lot slower on my machine).

Also many games require nVidia drivers or AMD's open source driver (e.g. Life is strange). I'm using a 144 Hz monitor and therefore need touse AMDGPU Pro (AMDGPU has a bug with >120 Hz: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93826 ).

But you're right: It's getting better :) For example Rocket League and Dota 2 work great.
