This, sadly, is the downfall of Linux. Nothing is easy! Linux mainstream
versions such as Ubuntu and Mint are great systems - I run Mint dual
boot with Win 10 here. That said, I use the Win 10 side for everything
to do with my K-Line. I am spoiled, as are many others, by the ease of
installation/operation of the software I use on a regular basis.
Further, some software I use is not replaceable under Linux. There is
nothing up to the job available.
Wine is not the answer, as many Win programs will not properly run under
Wine/Linux - if at all. Recently, there is also a problem with Wine
itself - as being discussed on various Linux forums.
Personally, I would much prefer to run Linux 100% - for various reasons
(mainly security). That said, until Linux is made much more friendly to
the new user and the available software library drastically increases,
it will never be more than a very minor player at the user level. Linux
is, however, a major player in higher levels.
