That's what I say about Linux to everyone who still thinks you still need the terminal/command line to use and run apps on Linux. Nowadays it isn't much different from Winblowz: Just install, open and use.
Using Distributions like Linux Mint and Zorin OS is painless now.
When you can't find an open source program that you like, to do what you want, just use WINE and CrossOver. Simple.
emulation (or whatever you call it when you use Windows stuff on Linux) is always a crapshoot. there's a whole page out there with a whole ranking system just to see what games can run through those emulators and how well, for example. it's not that simple.
and alt culture programs online are infamous for a reason. every other one has you set up some completely different compiler methodology that you then have to debug yourself when it inevitably doesn't work on the first try. just getting an .exe you can run for basically any Windows program has real value when you're trying to do things and don't want to waste time finding the cool open source version with 0.1x the features and usability instead.
our time on this Earth is too limited to be spending it figuring out random Linux crap, honestly. i think a debloated Windows with as much telemetry turned off as possible (through O&O ShutUp for example) is the best option for a real modern working man.
In what way. It’s not 1997 anymore.

I'm on xfce, and GNOME apps are still a pain in the ass.
