Is there a possibility and I’m not talking about breaking patents or anything like that, but I’m talking about a possibility technically, to have a Linux OS that can run Windows 11 apps natively?

No bottles or ports, just download an EXE file and run it.

        Windows is still considered the standard in the world. Most of us know that Linux is the better operating system. What will it take to get people to switch from Windows to Linux?

          Windows comes pre-installed.

          If every manufactured PC came with Linux, it would take over eventually. Its just a default OS issue, not a usability issue.

            @9tr6gyp3 @stat_rosa it’s a predatory marketing issue and consumer capture issue. Notice also you no longer own your windows. It’s just a license. But your Linux, like free speech free like free beer. Since there’s no money in that, no shareholder return to protect, no politicians to be bought, it will always be a back burner reality in the corporate consumerist world.

          Windows just keeps getting worse and worse. Give it time.

      Yeah something like Wine, but running natively in the Linux OS.

      I think here’s where you are a bit off in understanding…

      Linux is not an OS. It’s a kernel. Long story short, technically “Linux” has no graphic interface, cannot even run commands without a shell attached etc…

      Obviously when most people say “linux”, they mean a linux distribution, which is the linux kernel, with a bunch of software bundled and installed on top of it when you install. WINE is no different than “x” or “wayland”. which are by definition, software running on a linux kernel, that is necessary to run a program designed to be graphical.

      The point is everything run on “linux” is actually run on top of layers built on top of linux. So say we’re talking running the text editor feather pad.

      so linux “native” looks like Linux Kernel -> display server (x/wayland) -> libraries -> featherpad,

      while running something with wine looks like Linux Kernel -> Display server -> Libraries for wine -> Wine - Notepad.
