When people say Linux Mint take them seriously. Even if you run Windows only programs it comes with Oracle VirtualBox (VB) installed. Throw a windows install into VB and run stuff that is Windows seamless. Heck you can put OSX in VB too. A Mac, Windows PC and Linux PC all in one and you can even put Solaris on it if you want.
After seamless windows are enabled, VB suppresses the display of the Desktop background of your guest, allowing you to run the windows of your guest operating system seamlessly next to the windows of your host.
I write Windoze apps and develop them in Linux in a Windoze VB.
On the other hand since you can’t even turn off Cortina... never mind. Over your head. LOL.
