Anything, except for practical applications that people actually use.

* music production software * discord * games * copy and pasting

Everything that works on Linux will generally work on Qubes, apart from the GPU-heavy applications [0], which will be addressed in the future [1]. Copying and pasting works fine [2]. OK, music production may not be possible at the moment [3].

I run LM-Studio and [can run] Siemens PLM NX inside a Windows Server qube. GPU passthrough is no issue for me at least.

Can't comment on music production since I don't produce music (could be the need for realtime).

Discord runs fine both in-browser and in application. Raptor Lake seems to have zero issue with video voice chat, whereas Comet Lake can drag a bit in large rooms without a GPU. Qubes OS makes it dirt easy to multiprofile from all around the world.

I don't really game like others do; eye candy doesn't draw me in, but solving interesting puzzles/challenges does.

Copy & paste is superior in Qubes, skill issue sorry not-sorry. GIT GUD!

How is it superior? Gamer insults aren't going to win folks over here. They're more likely to cause people to dismiss you.
