  • winapps

    Run Windows apps such as Microsoft Office/Adobe in Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora) and GNOME/KDE as if they were a part of the native OS, including Nautilus integration.

    If you really want to make the switch and your computer is powerful enough and supports virtualization, then your best bet is winapps (https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps) . Basically run it in a VM.
