I'm ready when I have no broken packet version conflicts or old packets.

And probably I'd still miss quite a few apps:

- Media stuff: Adobe, Ableton, Touchdesigner, Visual Studio (these are the real deal-breaker for me)

- some casual games

Might be already supported one way or another:

- autohotkey (though there might be even better tools, just have to convert all my scripts)

- a global equalizer that I can feed parametrically to adjust sound to my room (for measuring my room I can still boot windows once I guess).

- shareX replacement (select area for screenshot, annotate, upload to ftp with hashed filename, upload clipboard to markdown file online, give back custom url etc)

Honestly, I do not understand the intent behind the whole "linux inside windows" trend that MS is on these days. Even visual code is turing out well these days, but I am hesitant as I am not sure of the intent behind it.
