So this is not running Windows apps on linux, but displaying them on your linux desktop. You still need to run Windows in a VM.

Before I quit Reddit (when Bacon Reader died) I had already curtailed my commenting because of this. It seemed that any time I tried to make a thoughtful comment on a even slightly contentions subject I ended up in a pointless argument with someone who had poor reading comprehension. It was disheartening to realize that while I was agonizing over every word I put into my comment in an attempt to clearly explain my thought, the same courtesy would not be extended by the people mis-reading it. I started to think people were just scanning comments for keywords to get angry about then telling me that I was ignorant of a subject I knew a great deal about or a reactionary child when I am 50 IRL. Commenting became a burden and it lead to a decline in the quality of conversation as more and more thoughtful commenters found that burden too great.

IIRC part of that issue was that the Windows version of the same computer was cheaper because of MS licensing. For Linux nerds at the time it made more sense to buy the Windows version and do what they had always done, reinstall with the Linux of their choice.

green peppers

The worst pepper. Everything you add them to just ends up tasting like green bell pepper, which taste terrible. Yellow, Orange, or Red? Magnificent.

However, once the prompt to upgrade to Windows 11 appears, 99% will click “yes” and

be informed that their computer does not support Win11

and forget about it.

Poetic license.

It is not actually minimum wage, but it is no where near far enough from it.
