Or have tried it out and found that the software they need to do their job ... doesn't work... there is also the games issue, many are now developing for linux, but the amount of AAA titles on it is still few and far between.

In my case it's Solidworks, after paying $14,000 for it we are not about to use an alternative in a hurry. Systems like onShape show promise but still lack features we need for day to day use like sheetmetal functions. Tried a VM but it's too clunky and often has issues / crashes, currently I keep a windows laptop just for work. (all my other PCs are fedora).

Solidworks is the main one, I can find reasonable alternatives for just about everything else, it's the one bit of software we just can't toss out.
