Yup, and that is the reason I refused to look at it for so long. And then I went to work for a large corporate where Windows is mandated since forever and will be until eternity. And from my impression most businesses wont touch any other OS for use on desktops.

You can of course use Wine/Wineskin and there are guides on how to get this done for Dolphin apps, but I just wont bother for my clients. Not one has ever mentioned compatibility with anything other than Windows 10.

True, but more and more software is delivered using web-based technologies - from desktop apps like Slack to most SaaS offerings.
