Wine makes Windows applications work in Linux. Wine solved a lot of issues with translation, but most Windows games use DirectX for their graphics, which is proprietary to Windows.
DXVK translates DirectX to Vulcan (Open Source graphics API used in Linux), allowing GPUs on Linux to run DirectX games.
A good writer could do cool stuff with that. It doesn't even have to be laziness, but the lack of necessity for innovation.
A fun example is Project Hail Mary. The alien species in it is highly intelligent and has invented space travel, but has no computer technology. It's not that they lack the capacity and ingenuity required to develop computers, but because the structure of their brains that developed for extremely advanced audio processing in an environment without light made them extremely good at mathematics. They never had a need to invent calculators, so they never progressed down the technological path that would eventually lead to computers.
Photoshop and Lightroom are what keep me with Adobe. The Open Source stuff simply doesn't cut it for my needs.

It was a DPMS A-15. He could gave bought a nicer barrel than what comes stock, but I doubt it.
Dude's never heard of fishing attacks.
Non-profit food. Huge difference.
And if the city owns the land, there will also be significant cost savings long-term in rent and property tax.
Trump is not getting what he deserves. He's old and feeble. He got away with it.
But his cronies should be made to pay.
Most-importantly, any military officers who followed illegal orders should be court-martialed and jailed to neuter future despots by removing future military backing.
