... as explained here.

Basically Microsoft presents this "incredible" product, and then says in the same breath: "Oops, not for your current setup. Maybe you should consider buying a new PC?"

Really!? ๐Ÿ˜ 

If only Linux were ready for mainstream use...

I'm going to answer your points below. Not because I want to tell you to move to Linux, but because the information you state is incorrect. Linux is not for everybody. It works for millions of people and it works for me, but that doesn't mean it will be what you're looking for.

In order:

  1. There are no .exe files. Neither are there any on MacOS, iOS, Android, or anything else that isn't Windows/DOS. To start software requires that it's on the search path in exactly the same way that Windows requires. You can see what that is with the command: echo $PATH. Most Linux distributions have a graphical user interface which features icons and menus, but if you don't want that, you don't need to install it.

  2. You absolutely can, but it doesn't work the same way as Windows, because it's not Windows. You can for example login to Linux because the login manager started at system startup. You see a desktop after logging in because there's a startup system for your account. The printer works because the software driving the print queue is started.

  3. Wine is a tool. It's not a replacement for Windows. It's not intended to be. It's intended to help users and developers make Windows software work better on Linux.

  4. LibreOffice is one of many office suites. I have been using it as my productivity software for 25 years in my company and I'm not at all disappointed to have escaped the Microsoft Clippy, Ribbons, Office365 abominations.

  5. I have used Libre Calc for most of my numerical analysis processes. I used real tools like R and gnuplot when I was analyzing terabytes of data.

  6. The terminal is a tool. I use it daily. At any time there's a dozen of them open. Not everyone needs a terminal, but there are plenty of things that you can only do in a terminal. A random example, list all the files in your account, group them by extension, then add up how much space each extension takes. In case you're wondering:

find ~ -type f | egrep -o "\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" | sort -u | LC_ALL=C xargs -I '%' find . -type f -name "*%" -exec du -ch {} + -exec echo % \; | egrep "^\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$|total$" | uniq | paste - -

Linux is not Windows. It never was and it never will be, neither is any other operating system. The community around Linux is helpful, the ecosystem is vibrant and it's free. If you want to pay for support, you can. If you don't, there's plenty of opportunity to do your own thing.

If you want it to be like Windows, you're going to be very disappointed.

You answered all of them , but they are tangent to what point ibam trying to make.

As a SIMPLE TON OR A NEWBIE YSING LINUX ,this is all I can't and won't be doing , using windows is not disappointing because SIMPLY it works , like number 6 first part is easy no . The second part WHY WOULD I DO IT ? FOR 5th you have to use R and gnu plot because libre office is well SHIT at at those , where as excel can do it natively. Wine does not make it better except for few program to be used in Linux, the tool intended to it's work is HALF baked. Please try to do 1 and 2 in zorin and Pop is and see how far it takes to complete the process , If you want I can put I stopwatche and tell you time it took to do it in windows. Not to mention use of HDD , in windows i attach it and VOILA! Its the one I use it ACROSS ANY AND ALL APPS not a single mount -a-B--รซ stuff I have to do .
