    I run a W10 LTSC VM on both my laptop and desktop for this purpose. I refuse to use Windows on bare metal, but I also understand that some software simply does not exist (nor functions under Wine) on Linux. Things like Adobe Acrobat, which I need for legal things from my lawyer for custody stuff, some vehicle diagnostic software, and software for my fucking labelmaker (Brother PT-D600, broken screen, will fix or replace eventually).

      Ya, it’s annoying for sure… As I said, chicken and egg type thing. The market share has to be there before these companies will invest anything in linux. You’d think macos would be a gateway to them providing linux support but that doesn’t seem to translate well.
