If you absolutely need functionality of some Windows only applications on Linux, it’s a bit clunky, but a solution exists to use a VM to integrate the Windows apps into your Linux environment. It’s called winapps, and I use it to run the latest version of Excel, which I do need for some things. Here’s their GitHub: https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps

I use virt-manager, aka Virtual Machine Manager. Using this specifically because of the winapps for Linux repo has instructions on how to get Windows apps to run through the VM to be integrated in a Linux environment.
Mr. Camel999@programming.devto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Do you have any recommendations for an opensource mood tracking app?3·11 months agoNot sure if it has every feature you’re looking for, but I was able to transition from Daylio to Daily You and be ok with it. Can’t track what activities you did with buttons, but can track your mood every day with a journal entry for each day, and an image if you want. There’s even a Python script to convert your entries from Daylio into Daily You!

Mr. Camel999@programming.devto Linux@lemmy.ml•When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**151·1 year agoI’ll comment and agree with most of the people who have already commented who recommend Linux Mint. It’s very good for beginners. Alternatively, you can also take a quiz found at distrochooser.de to get an idea of which distros may be right for you.
Not the Framework 16, but I’ve used the Framework 13 for 2 years now and have lived it with Ubuntu. I believe Fedora was also mentioned on the Linux support page back then, although I was just getting into Linux at that point so my memory could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure. I haven’t used Fedora personally but I think it would be absolutely fine on the Framework 16.

I personally use Cinnamon, which has a similar feeling to Win10. Very satisfied with it on my desktop. From what I’ve heard XFCE also feels similar to Windows, but I simply have just used Cinnamon ¯_(ツ)_/¯
