My computer literally killed itself when I tried to run a Wine app and a Steam game at the same time (sh.itjust.works)

Our approach to newbies wanting to use windows is: "go ahead, but you're on your own"

They try maybe a day or two, then they install linux

Well, in this case, they were not entirely newbies, they're from a different team that we're supposed to hand over to. The project is also in cooperation with other companies, so it's not completely out of the question that some devs are trapped in Windows purgatory.

But yeah, we were certainly cursing at the end of the week, when we had already invested quite a bit more effort than we had hoped for, and we were still running into ever more new issues than we fixed in the same time.
