Hopefully title says it all. I want to put Linux on my old WIN-7 workstation. I'd like to be able to run some of the WIN-7 applications that aren't available under Linux.

So which version of Linux is a best bet for this sort of thing. I already run Debian LinuxCNC for the mill and on Pi4 boards.

In addition to Umbuntu there are a few other versions. Needless to say it has to run SAMBA and I've not had any trouble setting that up on the Pi3/4 units.

I know that AlibreDesign will not run in WINE. But I'd like to find out about some of my other software and hardware development platforms. For example even just the simple Machinist Toolbox. Etc.
