My god, you blew my mind. Thank you for this great explanation.

Thank you I’ve learned something new.

No special use case, I’m just thinking out loud what it will take the common computer user to turn away from Microsoft Windows.

Yes this is indeed a great step into the right direction. it seems that when I look at all the comments Wine is is indeed the best the option.

Ok, then basically you have to have a lot of ram to make it feel as native possible? Lets take Microsoft office as an example, and I’m running either Debian or Fedora latest version, I need at least 16GB of ram to run it with the feeling that it’s native, just like as if I’m running LibreOffice.

Yeah seems unlikely

😉

Apologies, yes I sounded a bit simple, but your explanation is very helpful.

Yes you are right, I can live with this. But now I wonder if Microsoft would ever consider releasing a Wine competitor of their own, probably of course against a fee.

Thank you. I already thought this would be the case.

This is also very interesting, but then I’m running Windows 11 in a container.

Windows is still considered the standard in the world. Most of us know that Linux is the better operating system. What will it take to get people to switch from Windows to Linux?

Very true.

Did not know this existed, thank you. This is a very interesting OS, but indeed it is not Linux.

So at the moment Wine seems to be the best possibility to come near to the experience of Windows.

Yeah something like Wine, but running natively in the Linux OS.

Totally forgot that Enoch was taken by God. And I agree with you that the Ainur are more like angels.

Not really answering your question but your post got me thinking. Is there a person in the bible who is immortal like the Elves? And God and Jesus do not count. So I found these three on the internet:

Enoch: In the genealogies of Genesis, everyone’s story ends with “…and he died.” Enoch is the sole exception. Genesis 5:24 states: “Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.” The New Testament confirms this in Hebrews 11:5, stating he was taken “so that he did not experience death.”

Elijah: The fiery Old Testament prophet did not die a natural death. Instead, while walking with his successor Elisha, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them, and Elijah “went up to heaven in a whirlwind” (2 Kings 2:11).

Melchizedek: He is a mysterious king and priest who briefly meets Abraham in Genesis 14. In the New Testament, Hebrews 7:3 describes him in highly unusual terms: “Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.” A bit like Tom Bombadil.

Or should we see Elves like Angles on Earth?

I heard that the Tolkien Foundation had the letter of dismissal framed in their office and laugh about it when they can. Do not know if it is true but I would do the same.

The Fellowship of the Ring in my opinion contains the most beautiful words to describe places like the Shire which just come alive in my mind. I have been to the Shire without ever being in the Shire. And Beren and Luthien and The Children of Hurin are the best fairy tales out there. And if you do not like fantasy than Leaf by Niggle is amazingly well written. No dear Nobel Prize, this guy was and is a Master in Literature.

The thing probably is that I remember it being something special especially gameplay wise, but probably because I was out of touched with gaming. I think around the same time Mass Effect came out and the Xbox 360 was for me an impressive console.

So the reason why I say inspired because I was thinking that countering was something AC had created, but I’m probably remembering this incorrectly.
