Gnome 3.36 is one of the best releases of Gnome. Just switched back from XFCE. It looks polished, has better usability and performs way better than previous releases. Much of the HiDPI related problems (4k resolution) I had went away too.
Softmaker Office/FreeOffice is an excellent and free replacement for MS Office. Has a ribbon interface just like MS Office, is fast, and does everything you would expect it to do just fine.
For development, if you don't want to go through the learning curve of vi or emacs, the JetBrains family of products is excellent. Otherwise you may want to try spacemacs, a "distro" of emacs.
Zeal is a good alternative for Dash.
Steam allows you to install a wide range of games, even Windows games, via Proton. You can see the list of supported games here: https://www.protondb.com/
Now, if you are not as hardcore as the person from this post, use Tilix (similar to iTerm2) rather than plain tmux.
Now... why Linux? because it's an OS where developers can do whatever they want. There's no limit. You can mess with whatever you want, not only with the surfaces exposed to you (APIs).
