[H-GEN] Hello

[Jevan Pipitone]

Hi Michael.

I switched to linux debian gnome in approximately February 2021.

You can use "Wine" in linux, to run windows software. Everything I have tried 
has worked so far, but, whether it works, partly depends on your computing 
expertise, so, where it worked for me, it might not work for someone else.

So effectively I have the best of both worlds. The advantage of a large 
selection of free linux software, combined with ability to run expensive 
windows software when there is nothing equivalent in linux.

I am still awaiting for the 'Darling' macintosh emulator, a wine equivalent 
for macintosh, to support GUI applications, which it presently basically 
doesn't, if they get it fully working, then I would be able to run macintosh 
applications under linux debian gnome.

I wondered whether macintosh is prone to crashes, in which case, how would 
they resolve that issue, when emulating macintosh under linux, to avoid linux 
from crashing the operating system of linux, since usually linux is quite 
stable, with the kinds of things i have done?

Jevan.
