    There’s WSL on windows, I don’t wanna say it’s the same thing as wine, but yeah, you may need other programs to install linux software on windows.

      Holy shit are you being disingenuous.

      Yes dude. Windows has the same thing and it would be necessary if someone wanted to install Linux on a Windows machine.

      If.

      There’s one teensy problem with your statement though.

      There is simply ZERO Linux software that the average user would be installing on Windows. Either the software has a windows version or the software is redundant.

      Note I said the average user. SysAdmins just don’t matter here. You’re asking average people to move over so you don’t get to use a distinctly above average situation for comparisons sake.
