Windows 上多数的软件在 GNU/Linux 里都有替代方案 (请参考 《OSSF自由开源软件常见问答手册》),但还是有无法取代的软件 (例如:Adobe Photoshop, Forticlient, Microsoft Office 等)。有些我们可使用 Wine 和 PlayOnLinux 这类的模拟器来执行 (例如:WinSCP, 轩辕剑 3 等),可它们不见得稳定;对于追求稳定和不考虑跑虚拟机器的伙伴而言,有商业公司支持的 CrossOver 也是个不错的选择。
稳定的等价交换就是得花点小钱,最便宜的月租方案为 $39.95 USD,不然就得等官方不定期的限时免费活动。刷卡前请记得先行试用,对了胃再下手也不迟。
