I was very confused because this chart didn't show up for me... then I realized that I'm 100% Linux and showing it would've been pointless.

Still, I'm very proud of it. Barring some games with arbitrary rootkit restrictions (suck my ass, Tim) and Adobe products (but Adobe can burn and die, so whatever), I've been able to completely transition to Linux.

Most adobe things should work in Wine, no? At least they did a few years ago

They don't anymore unfortunately. The best solution I've seen is using winapps for Linux, but even that relies on a Windows VM. Worth looking into though still imo, it's how I use the latest version of Excel for my work.

winapps

Thanks for the tip. I can finally run Internet Explorer seamlessly on my Linux system.

The last time I tried, most applications started and didn't crash, but were mostly unusable. GPU acceleration was also right out.
