  • I’m not sure what options you have friend, it’s pick your poison either way. You’re dependent on software vendors that support Microsoft, in turn you are equally dependent on Microsoft. That includes playing by their requirements, buying a motherboard or PC with a TPM chip and accepting ads in your user experience.

    You could hack together a VM, or use WINE with the unsupported software. You mentioned you’re not looking to tinker and desire something seamless - Maybe you’ll have better luck than I did with Vegas, there’s been a lot of improvements with WINE - but my experience was subpar from windows with this specific software.

    A third option is to remove your dependencies on vendors that don’t support Linux, and learn equivalents. Facing this similar fork, I chose to learn and replace Vegas with Davinci Resolve, and I haven’t regretted it yet. But I also respect you have your workflow.

    I rarely suggest anyone stick with windows, but the scenarios you’ve presented is exceptional.

    Edit- additional note on the software concerns in W11, it’s not that different from 10, like at all. I’m massively confident they will continue working without problem.
