Will upgrade from windows 10 to Linux.
I did it last year after postponing it countless times. And I will recommend you do it. I know it feels like a huge step, but it is much easier than you fear and once you have done it it is such a big relief to be completely free of all of Microslops nonsense forever.
I haven't figured out an efficient way to run widows programs on Linux. I know wine exists and the vm's. Maybe it's cause I didn't stick with Linux for more than 2 months.
I was super into Ubuntu when it first came out but I got bored of it really quick. Tried it again a couple years ago and it was still hard to navigate.
I think it's time to update your knowledge... Especially regarding Ubuntu. Do yourself a favor and look into other distros.
Also curious what Windows programs. It's very rare, but on Bazzite if I open an exe, it automatically runs it in wine.
For games, just load the exe through Steam or use a launcher like Faugus with Proton.
