Or do you keep a few Windows/Mac PCs lying around?

You know, just in case you need to run an app/game that only works perfectly on Windows/Mac and WINE/Proton wouldn’t run it?

Been thinking of Linuxifying my Laptop eversince I enjoyed Linux after defecting to it (from Windows) in my main PC (a Desktop).

    Sick of Mac OS and been thinking about switching to linux, but the software I need to use on a daily basis does not run natively and I don’t think I could use the FOSS linux alternatives. I’m not sure how it would work with WINE/Proton because I’m not THAT tech savvy unfortunately. Maybe I will try to get my hands on a beater laptop and muck around to see whan happens 🤔

      You can take a look at WINE’s app database and see if it’s in there. Otherwise, try searching the software’s name with “WINE” after it and see if anyone has written about their experience with it.

        There is a family of apps, one or two of which could maybe work. But I have a lot of active projects atm and also I don’t want to retrain my muscle memory for a different app.
