please explain this to a person who does not live in USA or england as the red uniforms seem english but im guessing it refers to america given the american unrest

can some one ELI5… is this a way for me to run windows stuff using linux? OR is this for linux stuff to run in windows?

I really want an easier way to run windows stuff in linux, my hatred grows with every notification, update, attempt to advertise to me, and interference in my workspace. but trialing mint is great but the ultimate test is failing with a few programs not really playing nice with linux.
