Linux is so approachable now, I don’t see a reason not to make a full dive.

Is there a reliable, thorough site that gives up-to-date information on Windows software compatibility in Linux?

It’s not the things that take up 80% of my time that worry me. I am sure it will be seamless to manage a word-compatible document or spreadsheet or browse the Internet. But the edge-cases - FL Studio, a specific game I want to play, some niche app I don’t even notice I need until it’s gone - make me hesitant to devote time into trying.

FOSS, WINE, and reducing tech clutter.

It’s not perfect, but this is the Life of open source and proprietary software.
