Big tech‘s response: „Have you tried using wood glue to add texture?“

Dear users , start using BSDs.

BSDs do rock.

That said, Linux distros have a lot better compatibility than the BSDs, so use that first before you start blaming your problems on *nix. BSDs are very reasonable OSes though.

Honest question: when I am trying to install some obscure bullshit that only has windows and Mac versions, can I install a Windows version and it still runs?

If I understand your question right, you could install Windows on a virtual machine and run your software there yes.
As long as it doesn't actively try to prevent itself from being run in one, or doesn't require GPU acceleration, it should work just fine.

You can also install windows on Docker and connect via VNC
