    I hate comments that are like “oh if only Linux could run Whatever” etc. You can have more than one computer (or partition), and you can have more than one OS. Windows isn’t going to divorce you if you spend time with Linux.

      No, but it sure is annoying having to switch in the middle of doing something especially when you’re working. (Also, there’s that pesky thing that happened to me as well where windows doesn’t play nice with the Linux boot partition and fucks it up) So there’s always going to be a main os. If you’re fortunate enough you can use an old laptop for windows. Or, if your computer is powerful enough run an windows VM. For me, Gnome Boxes offered a really easy to use experience of running windows. It worked out of the box, no special tweaks.

        I installed Garuda on my wife’s gaming machine last autumn, dual boot with Windows. I haven’t seen her using Windows since then, and she said she hasn’t. She loves it btw, says, even better graphics in some games. And KDE is an eye candy anyways.

    There are actually only two kinds of windows apps that don’t run on Linux: Those made not to run on Linux on purpose, and those that were made by so bad programmers that you’ll be amazed how fast the “fixme” messages scroll in the terminal window from which you started wine. I’m working with one of the latter, and I’m happy that I just finished the last project with it. This piece of software is plain shit. And it looks like they don’t intend to fix their shit.

      It’s not exactly on purpose, but Wine is still missing a lot of hardware level translation, like native SATA for example, so… 🤷.

        I’m not talking about limits in low-level hardware support. I’m talking e.g. about games with anti-cheating software or productivity software with invasive license managers that are made not to run under anything but Windows.
