Mine hobby is astrophotography. When I heard you could run Windows
apps on Linux I thought I would switch, as I don't care for
Microsoft's "rule the world" attitude. It seems to me you should be in
agreement since trying to get Ubuntu to work is your hobby

Because it is supposed to run Windows apps but doesn't?

No one ever claimed you could do that, and there are no apps to run on
Windows that are made for Linux that I can use, even if you could

I just spent several days trying to get a wireless card to work, so I
could try to get to the internet, so I could try to get my astronomy
apps to work. I tried to get help but was insulted and given bad and
even malicious instructions. I might continue to try to use Linux but
only as a curious hobby. Usually you use a computer to speed up the
completion of a task. This reminds me of the days of the Apple II.
Seems like by far Linux is used to play games. And before all the game
plays jump down my throat, I have no problem with people playing games
on their computer, I just want to do something a little more serious.
