If you're still using Windows 10 and don't want to upgrade to Windows 11 any time soon you might want to sign a new online petition

In line with many folks' suggestions here, I'm ALL for switching to Linux full time after playing around with a few distros... BUT, I use dxo Photolab for photo editing which doesn't run on Linux, yes, even through wine etc.
Also yes, I know the are a bunch of great Foss alternatives. I've tried them all. Nothing touches the results from my current program unfortunately.
I would be stoked if anyone could enlighten me as to how I could get that working.
Your best bet is virtualization. I use that for my CAD software, games that dont run under linux and Microsoft office
This allows me to only use Windows that 10% of the time I need my software and be using linux for all other stuff.
Only issue is that it requires some effort to get it going and some additional hardware if you want to run both at the same time.
Nice, i will take a look at this. With virtualization are both OS able to share files/ access the same files?
Kind of... You usually can mount a directory or similar from the Host machines (Linux in this case) on the Guest (windows in this case). It uses a virtual fs so it doesn't matter the filesystem used on the host or similar. That said due this is slower than direct use of files.
Alternative even if that wasn't a thing you could always do a network share in SMB or similar and as long as they have access to network it would work too.
Not by default, but can be set up without much PITA.
Lots of people suggesting VM, but you can also consider dual boot.
I use Linux for everything except for the very few things were I can't (specific games for example). That way you have the best of both worlds.
I even have it set up in different drives and use the MOBO boot menu to choose, so no worries about Windows breaking stuff
