These are great examples.
> What's an example of a desktop Linux application that is so good that somebody will setup or buy a Linux machine to run?
This is a tough question as most of the software I use on Linux can be used on MacOS with its ancient FreeBSD userland or Windows with WSL or natively. I feel that often developers who don't treat Linux as an afterthought also make things available for other platforms.
I know for me, I use a Linux machine for the software ecosystem I use to keep things keyboard driven. skhd[1] on MacOS and Autohotkey[2] on Windows can help but when I have tried both it is not quite as flushed out in my opinion. I also use Linux for increased privacy and a more minimal environment compared to MacOS or Windows. I would say those are compelling reasons to use Linux and are directly impacted by software available Linux. One could also argue the lack of undesirable software (bloatware, adware, etc.) is also a compelling reason to use Linux.
This all being said, I am not one to argue this is the year of the Linux Desktop. I'm a security engineer and the lack of standardization on the desktop side of Linux is a HUGE weakness and until that is addressed I don't think it will ever be the year of the Linux Desktop.
