The dark defaults of Microsoft Edge

Thanks for the advice, I've used Linux on my own computer for twenty years.

What I don't know is if I can get legacy LabVIEW code, hundred thousand dollar equipment with drivers designed for windows XP, and obnoxious stuff like microscope camera drivers and software to work.

No games thankfully (or not, I suppose, games on Linux work fine for me).

That is a special situation, and isn't going to be straightforward -- just like it wouldn't be straightforward to move to Windows 11.

Certainly worth testing, but the general advice above isn't going to help with the special software for the instruments.

Virtualize it and pass through USB devices to the VM for the microscope camera/etc.
