Is anyone else browned off by the fact that lots of good apps are no longer built for native Windows but involve the use of Python or Docker?
Is this a ploy to get us all to move to Linux?
In my world PC=Play Computer. I don't want to have a lot of work just to get an application running on my PC.

I just tried Docker Desktop; relatively easy to set up containers for apps, but not so easy to have them communicate.

Maybe I'm just an IT Rex.
