I fucking love Plasma. the only thing keeping me on Windows is my love for both Directory Opus and MobaXterm.

KDE could be run on windows at one point, is that still possible?

Iirc that project was dropped long ago due to lack of users and Microsoft constantly making it more and more difficult

as other mentioned theres many kde programs with windows builds, wsl is also an option

but doesn't dopus and mobaxterm run well enough in wine already?

I'll have to try, a lot of it is redundant if it could, eg: MobaXterm's built in Cygwin and X server, Directory Opus's scripting and plugins.

Everything I know about linux is 15 years old, I should try it again this weekend

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
