              But native Windows (or at least Windows 10) is what I'd be trying to avoid by using Linux. Otherwise I might just as well have a dual-boot system and use Windows anyway.

              I don't mind something like wine, which (AIUI) is a basic Windows framework. But I don't want all the bells and whistles running in the background slowing down everything and constantly sending data back to Microsoft.
