- LibreOffice = This is a good one, there is a port but the general community does not favour porting it because it clashes pretty hard against the BeOS ethos. I would just use google docs. I do almost all my editing including ppts in vim.

Having apps/suites that only work in one particular environment and aren't available on yours are nothing new. Hasn't stopped the continued development of OS X or Linux that eventually results in ports or alternatives.
> the gaming experience on OS X is still garbage after a decade.
My main use for PCs for almost 2 decades was gaming, and after switching to Macs a few years ago, I can't say I miss much, honestly.
Unless you're complaining about the cost of a Mac, almost every new game has a Mac version on release or soon after launch, and even if it doesn't, CrossOver [1] or another VM will let you play it without having to boot into Windows.
Metal is also proving to be good for native games. [2]
