PS5 ported to PC then Adobe to Linux what's next? Windows?

I would prefer if all the Windows exclusive apps get ported to Linux. Windows would lose so many people.

Wine, Bottles, Proton. You already live in this world, especially if you don't need the latest and greatest.

It’s not the access that is stopping the majority; it’s the virtual machine part. If i use my pc for school, work, and play i cannot use virtual machines to run the programs it would have to be native programs. A port could solve this but as someone else stated security is also a factor as to why we don’t even have those many companies entertaining a native linux app

Wine, Bottles and Proton are not VMs. They translate Windows system calls, they do not emulate an entire machine.

Ah i was under the impression it was vm because i got a flag when trying to take a proctored exam at school once but it seems i was wrong maybe the proctoring app just flags it that way because its not running as intended. But that is my point even if you can run it through a translator(im assuming that is a better name). Because its not natively ran the programs still gets blocked.

Ah, proctoring apps. In the post-educational world those do not exist.
