This is what I use in a VM on my Linux host whenever I need to run something Windows.

I don't game and all my software is cross platform. Windows still has a few things I miss, programs like notepad++ (for which there's no true Linux equivalent), and portable apps (with Linux equivalents not really coming close, but understandably so).

Windows really is a broken OS solely set up for spying on users.


Notepad++ is seems like it has a pretty high Wine compatibility? https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=applicatio...
Wine has a very small font in interface. Can something be done with it?
Not that I’ve used Wine recently, but this seems to be the exact problem and solution? https://askubuntu.com/q/1313791
Notepad++ can only exists on OS like windows (I think macos has bbedit?). By the time people really need all the feature in Notepad++, they’ve already learned Vim or Emacs. And the basic editors in Linux DE are way more useful than Notepad.
If you like the KDE tools, Kate is a pretty good replacement for Notepad++. It's a very fast native Qt program with a familiar look and feel.
CudaText is replacement for NP++. Main disadvantage - Spell Checker plugin is much slower. But many advantages.
NotepadNext is a damn near perfect Linux clone of NP++.
