Re:the windows apps that don’t run on Linux
I have PCB express, Picbasic Pro, and MPLab IDE ; haven’t found a way to run these in Linux ....
Maybe set up a virtual window & run them in that?

If they won't run under
Wine, then your next best bet is to run them in a windows instance in a virtual environment.

I have disabled the TCP/IP and Client for MS Windows in Win XP...while installing Virtual Box on my XP.
I created a Linux Mint VM and that is how I get internet access while keeping WinXP from accessing the internet. Just make sure to set up the VM with a bridged NIC connection.
I have full use of my XP as a utility for all the applications I love and Linux for internet access and email.
You can even import your Firefox profile and bookmarks to the VM easily.
