Ubuntu on Windows

Ubuntu desktop can do pretty much all Windows can do these days, not to mention mostly all I need is just a browser now. I spent 364 out of 365 days with a Ubuntu and it works fine(yes the one day left is for Turbotax that needs the Windows).

Maybe the real reason that MS is moving super fast towards open source nowadays is to damage the open source goodies from within after they failed to attack it heads on many years ago? I just don't trust MS and it's hard to change that after so many years' hostile move from its side.

And what about games? Majority do not work on Ubuntu/Linux.

Yeah, same feeling. Given all the lawsuits to monitize patents against Linux, I can't help but think this is some end run to accidentally get people to slip Windows APIs into OpenSource, that would then end up in Linux, and then those lawsuits end up with more teeth.

I've been running TurboTax on Linux for over a decade now …

how did you do it? wine or virtualbox? am I missing something?

I use the web browser version. Some years I've had to change my user-agent header, but I've always managed to successfully submit my federal & state returns.
