Running Windows in a VM is one thing, I'm using Wine as I type
this to run Forte Agent as my preferred NNTP client, under Linux,
but putting Win11 on bare metal just makes no sense, unless you
have very recent hardware.  M$ is not supporting stuff for long,
even Win10 realistically requires a certain threshold to perform
well, and 11 is just insane.  And Apple is a money pit.  Linux is
the only option.

 
Linux is AN option.   Certainly not the best for most users.

You being a younger Linux enthusiast are vital to the community and to
the effort.  You are where the rubber meets the road, in competing
with M$, and I do the same as a middle-aged person, because I'm so
young at heart.

Yeah, sorry, I do get carried away being a character, but in
seriousness you are a pro.
