Running Mint and Windows apps in Wine is fairly weak advocacy.  Give us
some Linux vs Windows stories to chew on.

  I run IRC and Usenet apps under Wine, so what? 

So you never really left Windows.

Do you think that's all I'm doing with my computer in 2024?

Yes, pretty much.

I could do that with WinXP,
FFS.  You harp on the use of Wine as if it's wrong to use.  I think
it's a great way to enjoy the benefits of mIRC and Forte Agent without
running M$.

Bring back the old, drunk-stoned Joel:

"To hell with M$ Office, and anyone who disagrees can kiss my ass."

actual point I made, coward.  I'd kick your ass to the ground, nerd."

You'll probably need to setup a dual-boot with Win11, or install Windows
in a VM on your Linux crapbox.

  I have VirtualBox with 32-bit and 64-bit unactivated VMs of Win10,
haven't really done anything with them.

I don't understand why you don't write code.

  You generously gave me a Win10/11 Pro
key, which I appreciate, but I didn't use it and if you want it "back"
feel free to use it.

  I thought you had a friend who could use it.  Please do.  I have no
use for it.

I ended up putting $4 licensed Win7 and an SSD on a 2016 Dell Precision 660 for him (actually for his daughter).  Very speedy.
Win10 would've worked well, too.

I just bought a Win11 Pro key for $7, and a VMWare Workstation 17 Pro
key for $6.

  Interesting.

I hope commercial/proprietary VMWare runs guest OSes on Windows faster than the open source VirtualBox dog.
