You understood it fine. I was hoping there would be some sort of Linux extension or some other shenanigan I wasn’t aware of that allowed them to run natively, but VM I guess works.

Honest question: when I am trying to install some obscure bullshit that only has windows and Mac versions, can I install a Windows version and it still runs?
