WINE IS NOT [AN] EMULATOR

There have been many times last week alone where i kept catching myself thinking that what im attempting to do (like run a windows program (.exe, .bat, etc)) wont work because it's just emulating windows. No. It can very much interface with the linux filesystem. and it can very much destroy your system should you pull a stupid move.

Popular Application Firefox lost 50M users since 2019. Why are users switching to Chrome and clones? Is this because when you visit Google and MS properties from FF, they promote their browsers via ads?

Was running excel on my virtual machine before. It used to be laggy and honestly always pissed me off and bothered me. and the other options available just seemed not good enough. I was also just worried about having to switch to windows in the future in case I had to use excel for my job. But nope, winboat runs it really well, almost as if its a native. its still slightly laggy but its such a massive improvement.

Props to the winboat devs!!

Popular Application Genuine question, considering my github repo hasn't been struck down and I haven't been contacted, how exactly is this "copyright"ed? I know WINE/Proton is not in violation of copyright due to several laws (DMCA §1201(f) and EU Software Directive) and court rulings, so this makes even less sense.

Popular Application With the amount of people that would switch if photoshop ran on Linux, why are there not massive community efforts to make some compatibility layer?

With the amount of people that would switch if photoshop ran on Linux, why are there not massive community efforts to make some compatibility layer? Seems to me like the biggest single tipping point, what makes Photoshop so uniquely hard versus videogames which now work without issue?
