Adobe products, for example. Or any of other of miriad of other products which have only Win/MacOS and no Linux support.
And, no, Wine cannot run anything.
You see, I don't need OS at all, I need applications. Some of these applications are "universal" (FireFox, for example), some has good equivalents, and some are unique to OS.
And, no, DarkTable, or RAW Therappe are not equivalent to Lightroom or Capture One. And no, there is no equivalent to foobar2000 among music players.
>And, no, Wine cannot run anything.
Wine may not be able to run the apps you need, but it can run plenty. The older the software gets the more wine becomes the only option to run it.
You can run nearly any Windows app with winboat. Its not based on wine, it runs real windows in a container.
MPD + advanced clients pown foobar 2000 anytime. Also, Audacious, Strayberry...
Audacious with audacious-plugins could play anything (even video game music files) and it still has ProjectM plugins' support.
