thank you for the respectful comment, i appreciate you, some softwares don't have a linux version and i don't know if winehq is good for running them, anyway i think it's time to switch to linux anyway cuz i can't take it anymore!

    As someone who took the plunge years ago, you just have to accept that some programs will just be unusable. There are likely alternatives, though very few will be 'drop in' replacements so to speak. So there will be a learning curve.

    It's the price you pay to have full control of your system. As time goes on, it gets easier.
