Is there a possibility and I’m not talking about breaking patents or anything like that, but I’m talking about a possibility technically, to have a Linux OS that can run Windows 11 apps natively?
No bottles or ports, just download an EXE file and run it.
RAM matters for a VM, to give the VM enough memory to run the OS. Wine is not a VM though, so you only need a “normal” amount of RAM to run a Windows program through Wine, ie whatever the recommended amount of memory is for Office. Not all programs work well through wine though; Office might not. I don’t know why you’d need to run MS Office specifically though when LibreOffice exists. Do you have a specific use case?
Thank you I’ve learned something new.
No special use case, I’m just thinking out loud what it will take the common computer user to turn away from Microsoft Windows.
Windows isn’t the only problem. The amount of bloated proprietary spyware the average user uses is also a problem, aside from just the bloated proprietary spyware OS. Most people switching over to Linux will also replace any proprietary software they were using before, with FOSS, which is a good thing. For most people, switching out the OS itself is the biggest step, not replacing user software.
Yes this is also my concern with Windows, the spyware and the data stealing. And you are right it is the big step of switching to Linux that is the biggest ordeal.
