Yes, that’s a great strategy and one I began before even transitioning across. I guess the only reason I didn’t initially mention it is because I’ve found many Windows users immediately switch off the moment you tell them they might need to consider non-proprietary apps and services. There are a lot of really solid and reliable workarounds these days that mean you can keep some of that Windows workflow if you really want to, so I feel like maybe it’s best to just let them try the operating system first and see how much they can get away with.

@Ilandar you’re right, I didn’t think about this. However I might add that there are still programs that do not function well even under Wine. For example, the latest version of Office is always problematic to set up.
