I haven’t tried it yet, but there is a new one someone else shared here just a while back. Winboat.

Here is the deal. Those software companies know that folks are addicted to their apps. So Windows made a deal with them to never port them to Linux. Windows is paying them not to. They are using the users addiction against them. If folks just say no, get Linux, and make a sacrifice to use a slightly less “robust” of an alternative made for Linux all those apps will indeed be forced to port their software to Linux too. We have to build a new market and force them to come be part of it. And when there is more interest in Linux the Linux App Developers will take the time to polish up their Apps and make them better too.

Interesting. I never knew that, and it makes sense. But darn it all, all this wheeling and dealing doesn’t benefit the end user. I guess they know that, though.....
