 ph> What Windows software, besides games, are you using in Linux now?

Mainly IrfanView and Notepad++.  So far I haven't found a lightweight image viewer/editor for Linux that is similar enough to IrfanView to make me want to switch. As far as Notepad++, I've started using Kate, which I think has features similar enough for me, but I still like Notepad++ sometimes.  One thing I still haven't quite figured out yet inKate (editor) is doing a whole-word/exact word search (which Notepad++ can easily do).  Also, for Notepad++, I have a JSON plugin that can do easy-read formatting of JSON, and I haven't yet looked into whether Kate can do that.

Also, there are some AI photo & video editing tools I've used for Windows and I'm not sure if they have recent Linux versions - They're from Topaz Labs, such as Video Enhance AI, Gigapixel, etc..  I saw a beta of their Video Enhance AI for Linux some time ago, but I'm not sure about their other products.  I actually haven't tried installing or running them in Linux yet.
