If anything, gaming is the pillar that is furthest ahead, thanks to SteamOS and Proton and everything else surrounding it.
The main issue is that a lot of people I know need things like Photoshop or propriety CAD apps or video editing software where the alternatives are simply not acceptable - sure I can mention some OSS alternatives but it's not really my field; this is their job and they can't really take the velocity hit, or waste time finding out mid-project that it can't do what they need it to do.
True, a huge number of games work great with those.
Games requiring anti-cheat however are a big issue that still require a dual boot Windows or VM.
