Wine does a Lotta shit. I know I have an NTFS drive running on my debian-family machine.

Basically, they like to drink wine.
No. I’m kidding. WINE stands for WINE Is Not an Emulator, and it allows you to run Windows applications on a Linux machine. It’s far from perfect, but it can be a lifesaver when switching from Windows to Linux. What user melpomenesclevage is trying to say, is that you can use WINE to significantly blunt the blow / daily usability learning curve when switching, to keep some of your familiar applications as is.

How you explained it helped a lot. So it basically is a windows emulator but isn’t for legal reasons? Lol

You can run a lot of windows apps on Linux even if they don’t say they’re compatible, with a tool called WINE
Also, it matters less if youre a little tipsy.

Sadly, wine does nothing for my work application.

Then wait until windows breaks it or it technically functions trapped in an unusable shell, and lose everything.
