Hi,
I use QPC2, QPC1 (via DOSBOX), Qemulator and under Wine and SMSQmulator
under Java, on Linux.
I dumped Windows years ago, even Autocad works under Wine, though I am
struggling with Solidworks 2014, but I told there solution around this.
I do not think Windows is a viable solution now, even Unity 3D has been
released for Linux, this shows how much the Operating System has come on.
But... trying to keep on topic, as long as QL emulation works under Wine
or Java then I use Linux. I also like the Open Source idea as well.
Regards,
Derek

I'm using Lubuntu 14.X and my migration from Windows XP was quite
smooth. At the time I was using all Open Source tools that are also
cross platform:
Firefox for web browser
Open Office for Word processor, spreadsheet
Thunderbird for e-mail
Scribus for DTP
DOSbox for old DOS programs
SMSQMulator for QL emulation
The things that I had to get were:
Xfburn for burning CD's
Asunder for CD ripping
Handbrake for DVD ripping
All the software I installed from scratch. For Thunderbird, I moved the
large mailbox file from one node to another and I had my config and old
e-mails.
I'm using both Qemualtor and QPC2 under Wine. I don't use QPC2 that
much, but it works when I use it.
I used Lubuntu because I like LXDE desktop environment. Other
distributions might have it too.
