Windows does have a lot of useful but smaller than power-aps. Some of these are closed source, some are open--that are not available in Linux, yet. Which applications do you need, which have no parallel in Linux?
My list would have to contain GTK versions of: Irfanview image manager, which I think is unequaled in Linux, which does work to some extent under Wine. I also miss the full version of 7zip, because of its better compression settings, which File-Roller does not provide, though https://www.ruinelli.ch/p7zip-... is available but unnoticed by common distribution. Lastly, I think that Notepad++ would be a good addition to Linux.
Which daily-driver aps do you need?

You want a discrete/separate Windows/Linux boot. You have Windows on one SSD/NVMe, and Linux on another. How long do you have to wait for a chance to choose a boot drive? On which computer? How much time does it take to begin booting, anything? Has hardware become thousands of times more complicated, to warrant the longer start time--in a world of 4-5 GHz CPU's that are thousands of times faster than they were. Is this a symptom of a larger UEFI bloat problem? Now, with memory characterization on some modern motherboards, when building a system, how long to you have to wait to find out of your RAM is incompatible, or your system is DOA, or not?

In 2011, you could buy an HTC Evo 3D, with an Autostereoscopic 3D screen that did not need any glasses. While the actual cellphone's battery life was short, and the GPS accuracy...interesting, it was amazing to see. Where is a modern 3D cellphone?

I do not know if this related to the other Tesla fire. It may not be. Thankfully, no one was hurt, in this one, at this point.

When Mozilla Killed XUL, they killed one of the best web research tool, ever: Scrapbook. Originally conceived by Murota Laboratory, and developed by Gomita, Scrapbook allowed the user to save a hierarchy of web-pages with your notes, and links. While, there have been attempts to recreate it in Firefox's current browser, programmers aren't allowed to have such a powerful extension. Firefox itself implemented Pocket, but it might have been was more service than a local tool. Pocket is now gone, so that possible conflict is also gone. Scrapbook's old code was 1.8MB. As I loaded my old 4806 Items into Scrapbook-X running on Basilisk, I personally found it baffling that Mozilla would not want its users to have such functionality in Firefox. When reviewing some of the...interesting choices that Firefox has made, perhaps, for the user, would be a more useful one.
