    Yes because that is more user friendly than running an executable through a built in compatibility layer… suure

      Who tf wants usability when shit just has a solution no matter what. Additionally its an old program that a normal person wouldn’t even try.

      On windows shit just doesn’t work and the solutions are most of the time not even existing.

        You got it mixed up. Old Windows compatibility is much better than old Linux compatibility. Try running OpenOffice 1.0 on Debian 12

        Meanwhile running Office 03 on Windows 11 is almost as simple as actually installing it

      If you’re trying to get ancient software to work I think “user friendliness” is the least of your concerns. Especially compared to the alternative (Windows) where the answer is just, “No: That’s not going to work no matter what you do.”

        As I said. Try a random Windows XP binary on Windows 11 vs Debian 4 binary on Debian 12.
