Nearly all nowaday malwares target the users - the weak link, to get into
the system.

Seems Windows users (going to Linux) are doing this, my problem is I
lose expensive software I use in Windows and will have to replace and
be in unknown territory as to what to replace it with as well as
learning how to use it.
But the incentive for me to do so grows greater as WIN11 just get
unbelievably worse!
but AI is my friend to do this

you may be able to run it within Linux using Bottles or Wine

and will have to replace

but it wont cost anything

and

learning how to use it.

yes, you have to learn that.

if you can do it, it's great. you'll have total control of your PC. no
account to sign into. the OS is free, as is all the software, and
upgrades. backups and upgrades for the OS and software are just one
click from the software manager. no downloading from websites and paying
for software, unless you want to. I recommend Linux Mint Cinnamon
edition. download and burn the ISO. https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php
you can run it without installing anything to try it out. but when
installed it will look much better due to customization. and if you need
to know how to do something, just put a question into google. if you can
get another computer to install LM on keep your wincrap computer so you
can still use it if you have to. have them connected via a KVM so you
can easily switch. it's not easy to change I know, but if you do, you'll
never go back!-a :)
