During the pandemic, many programs our professors used to communicate with us (on-line lectures...) didn't work on Oracle Linux. Even those programs that had a Linux version (Oracle Linux is rather non-standard). I understand and appreciate the ideology behind Linux, but, put it brutally, it doesn't work when shit hits the fan.
Considering that I currently have several Windoze programs running in Linux with Wine that simply will not run under current Windoze versions, I'm, gong to have to say you're once again fucking clueless.
You do understand that Unix/Linux is the internet, right? Even microsoft.com runs on it.
I'm guessing, like everything else, you simply couldn't be arsed to properly learn the OS, so you switched back to the OS that holds your hand every step of the way. While that's fine for Joe Average, it says a lot, none of it pleasant, about someone who wants to be a coder.
WINE on Oracle Linux is basically capable only of running Notepad++, and no other program I tried. The problem is the 32-bit libraries which nearly all Windows programs (even today) rely on. And, on Ubuntu and other mainstream Linux distributions, WINE is basically Windows XP and almost no modern Windows programs run on it. That's not to say WINE is not an impressive project, it absolutely is. But you cannot rely on it that some random Windows app would run on Ubuntu, much less on Oracle Linux.
Oracle Linux is not good for web-development as it is difficult (if not impossible) to install Chrome on it. Chrome is the most popular web-browser today and is a must-have for every web-developer.
