What are the best desktop use cases for Linux

I notice there are a lot of opinions about Win/Mac versus Linux... With a lot of win hard...

But it appears also that Linux seems to miss a solid broad best use case.

For devs... Yes Linux. For office, games, general home use Windows For business/enterprise Windows For creative work, education use Mac

So without a killer broad use case it is going to continue to be hard to make a case for Linux other than for the privacy conscious who are willing to compromise on the use cases...

Or am I seeing it too bleak? I actually really like Mint and have not touched Win anymore for a few weeks but I struggle with several applications which are pulling me back to win and for which Wine or a VM do not work well (and a, VM is of course just windows again in reality just a slower win).
