14:40 I believe Proton's Native green actually means the game in fact has a native to Linux version, not that it runs as well as native. That's what the Platinum rating is for :) You can uncheck the Native checkbox to hide those because native games often run just worse than if you tried through Proton

About the audio part, I think there is a problem with audacity and data collection since a few weeks, and I believe it shouldn't be advertised anymore.
Still in the audio part, for people looking for a DAW Ardour is absolutely great.

Hello, since you seem to be the man for this things, a friend of mine has a problem with some ransomeware and his files transformed into pcqq files. Can you help at all?

I hope that wslgui giving access to free pdf editing tools will put pressure on adobe.

Calling Quicken or TurboTax "obscure" is unkosher stretch IMHO. In addition programs like photo editing commercial program is a must for me. Yes, these windows applications could be run in VM under Linux, but then so can Linux. And I have to agree, if one needs specific preferences which may not agree with must have apps, 2 computers is much better/simpler/less stressful option.

I was going to ask about IDEs but they are basically the same regardless of OS

I recently made the jump to ubuntu. using epic games launcher so far I've been unsuccessful getting that to work with wine, but the most annoying thing is that ubuntu doesn't let you set default audio devices for output like windows does.

Means every time I boot, it puts the audio out my usb headset instead of the speakers.

I have not had any access to Windows softwares for more than 8 years now. It's great. GNU/Linux forever, never going back to proprietary crap. :)
