There is more to it though. The one feature i miss from windows is casting.
I dont mean chromecast, i got that working. I mean wireless casting to a tv or projector. The windows + k feature.
Ive yet to get that working in linux...
Besides that, im a happy linux person

Everyone’s got something they’d miss. For me it’s Affinity (though that’s on the way, it sounds like) and Microsoft Flight Simulator. It’s insane, but MSFS is the 800-pound gorilla; it’s not just visuals, but almost all the new stuff (like Beyond ATC) is targeting MSFS.

Affinity works using WINE. I think there also exists a repo where they packaged it into .appimage

In theory yes. Not in practice though; unstable and slow.

I imagine if you play MSFS you have a beefy PC to handle Affinity through WINE

Sure, but that doesn’t fix the many crashes and hangs. Most of the GPU effects in the adjustment layers grinds everything to a halt. It’s not really all that usable in practice, IMHO.

When my college classes went online because of the pandemic, I'd sit in my parents basement and cast my homework to their TV. Those were the days.
