Before you cuss out Windows 10, try the user groups for clues. Save
yourself some time and make Microsoft Edge your default browser.
Dick,
Regarding networking linux and Windows, it's not an issue these days.
At work our lab has a network of gear from Keysight, Tektronix, and
Rohde & Schwarz, as well as Windows and linux computers. Absolutely no
issues and none of us are IT guys. We managed - thank you, Google! - to
set up one

You don't run Windows in WINE. You run Windows programs that are then
presented the Windows APIs by WINE. Think of WINE as a translator, not an
emulator.
I otherwise agree with your sentiment.
I prefer to run apps in their native environment.
Mike,
What you are possibly getting a little confused is
WINE - which sort of allows Windows executables to run in a Linux
environment. How well this solution works depends upon the Application, and the
DLL’s. This was initially intended for XP/Win NT. Since lots of Windows apps

You're right, imho. If you have a ton of Windoze software, you should
stay with Windoze. Many users have transitioned to Linux recently,
particularly after the Win10 nagware episode(s). Some of them
Ok, I already see I have misunderstood something. I mistakenly
thought Wine was an emulator that would allow you to run a copy of
Windows on Linux where it is actually a Windows on Linux simulator. That
answers at least part of my question.

Ok, I am not a Unix/Linux user. Years ago I did a little C
programming on a real-time Unix box but have forgotten way more than I
learned about that system (and C).
However, I have to ask the question - what is the point of getting
