On my desktop computer at home, Linux has been meeting my needs quite satisfactorily for a number of years now. Like you, I do not need any commercial, non-Linux programs such as Photoshop, AutoCAD, Microsoft Office, or some game. Instead, various free open-source programs, such as LibreOffice, Gimp, Gramps, Firefox, and others, meet my needs just fine. At home, I do not care what the de facto industry standard programs are.
I no longer feel the need to dual-boot between Linux and Windows, so on this computer and several previous computers, have never had Windows installed. I have Kubuntu Linux installed instead.
One not so well known commercial program that I have purchased and installed is the Linux version of the Autopano Giga image-stitching program. I use it for splicing photos together.
The needs of many business users and home users, may be different than mine, but for my needs, I prefer Linux.
