Can't think of any applications that I use in Linux that aren't available on Windows.
A lot of terminal apps tend to skip windows, ungoogled chromium doesn’t have a official windows release
A lot of open source projects do have windows versions, and the big projects that come to mind like blender or Firefox definitely do… but there’s a a lot of little pieces of software that don’t. One example that comes to mind for me is the Dino XMPP client… Linux only for now, unfortunately!
Interesting. Are you able to install through WSL?
I have no idea as I’ve never been a windows user, haha. Dino is one of the examples I know about though, because I know I can’t recommend it to windows users.
WSL is Windows Subsystem for Linux. It allows you to use Linux from within Linux. Though there's probably some major thing I'm missing which makes it fundamentally different from just running a VM.
Emacs is a rough experience for one.
A lot of ML stuff does not, e.g. Microsoft DeepSpeed.
Lots and lots of CLI programs as well.
Guitarix was one of those for me. I know there are better virtual amps on windows but I quite enjoyed guitarix for its open and free nature. Plus audio routing on windows is a nightmare.
Guitarx is rad. Had no idea it didn't work in Windows.
Yeah, last time I checked it suggested you just use a live install if you wanted to use it lol. I don't think it even works in macos despite macos having Macports, quartzx11 and jackctl support.
