    You’re casually blowing off two of the main reasons why I still have to use Windows.

    Is there a Linux alternative to Excel that will allow me to reliably write and execute VBA macros that I can then deploy to my windows using co-workers?

    Is there a Linux alternative to Photoshop? Doesn’t even need to be the most current version. I’d be happy with something that is functionally comparable to Photoshop 7.

    I’m not being glib with those questions either. It’s been probably ten years since I’ve really used Linux. If there are legitimate alternatives I’d absolutely give it another go.

      Spin up a Windows VM in Linux for those apps.

      Or at least dual boot if you are into Linux.

      Or at a minimum put Linux on another device with older hardware…

      ;(
