System76 is pretty great and they have amazing customer support. Plus between ProtonDB / Lutris you can run pretty much anything you want that needed Windows before.

I use and love Linux, but come on man, that kind of statement does not help. Even with proton and friends, wine is not perfect. There will most likely be problems, and it's not a one to one transition. However, in my opinion, it is worth it, but there's no sense pretending there is no cost.

    It's certainly not perfect, but it's good. If Windows-specific stuff is what's keeping someone from Linux, I'd encourage them to at least see if it works in Wine.

    If you're willing to use Windows, honestly one of the better solutions today is to just run Windows 10 in a VM. It's even feasible to do this for video games with VFIO.

Given that they're using a MacBook they probably aren't using very much Windows specific software if any, so I don't know that Wine would be much of a factor.
