Yes this is also my concern with Windows, the spyware and the data stealing. And you are right it is the big step of switching to Linux that is the biggest ordeal.
Ok, then basically you have to have a lot of ram to make it feel as native possible? Lets take Microsoft office as an example, and I'm running either Debian or Fedora latest version, I need at least 16GB of ram to run it with the feeling that it’s native, just like as if I'm running LibreOffice.
Yes you are right, I can live with this. But now I wonder if Microsoft would ever consider releasing a Wine competitor of their own, probably of course against a fee.
Windows is still considered the standard in the world. Most of us know that Linux is the better operating system. What will it take to get people to switch from Windows to Linux?

My god, you blew my mind. Thank you for this great explanation.
Thank you I've learned something new.
No special use case, I'm just thinking out loud what it will take the common computer user to turn away from Microsoft Windows.
Thank you I love your reply!
Yes this is indeed a great step into the right direction. it seems that when I look at all the comments Wine is is indeed the best the option.

Oh I see. Nice.
Yeah seems unlikely
😉
Apologies, yes I sounded a bit simple, but your explanation is very helpful.

You are right, Windows 10 would als be a great option. I think you are on to something with what Steam is doing.
Thank you. I already thought this would be the case.
This is also very interesting, but then I'm running Windows 11 in a container.

Very true.
Yes, this is interesting. Oh wow love your comment on programming.dev!
Did not know this existed, thank you. This is a very interesting OS, but indeed it is not Linux.
So at the moment Wine seems to be the best possibility to come near to the experience of Windows.
Yeah something like Wine, but running natively in the Linux OS.
