    Still using it because many apps I paid damn good money for a use daily have no Linux support and Linux as zero similar apps.

      You can always run windows on a VM within linux. You can passthrough any required hardware. And windows actually runs better in a VM than on baremetal.

        Well unfortunately they don’t have ones I need. 1 TuneFab an app that allows me to convert my Audible files into mp3s. Second Tune Amazon that allows me to convert my Amazon music files into mp3s. And lastly need a good dvd/bluray ripper software. Also what VPN software does Linux support?

          Linux supports any VPN protocol pretty much. If your VPN vendor doesn’t want you to lock in their software - they probably allow you to download pure OpenVPN or WireGuard config file that can be easily inserted on any major distro.

          And also as far as I knke, Proton VPN and Mulvad has their GUI clients for linux

            They do but don’t use Proton. They’re very lazy about their VPN implementations and the clients to be very leaky in general. Plus they neglect all their linux apps.

          I can’t speak to bluray/DVD ripping, but I don’t expect that to be an issue. What format are “audible files” and “Amazon music files”? I don’t think I’ve met a format ffmpeg couldn’t convert, but maybe not in a way you’d like or would feel as convenient.

          I’ve used NordVPN and SurfShark on Linux distros. Audacity for music conversion, and MakeMKV for ripping DVD/Blu-ray.
