I've been using TheBrain on Windows since TheBrain was so new it didn't have version numbers, so it's become an integral part of computer use for me, and I have about 3 decades-worth of data in there. I don't want to lose that. However, like so many of your customers, I find that Microsoft has shifted to the Dark Side, and I wouldn't move to Windows 11, even if my computers were officially Windows 11 capable. There's a Windows 10 "extender" on the market, but that's only to 2030. Linux, in some form, is therefore necessary, even critical.
I've been looking at Aurora, part of the Fedora family in Linux, but for all its advantages, it won't run TheBrain. I'm about to have a look at Winux, a flavour of Ubuntu with a Windows-like front end, which can apparently run .exe applications and do other Windows-like things, but I don't yet know if that will run TheBrain, and its apparently not as reliable as the Fedora family distros of Linux.
That leaves me really, really wanting to see TheBrain made compatible with Linux distros generally, as it used to be until about TheBrain 8. With the increasing numbers of people who want to get away from being manipulated by the likes of Microsoft, Apple and Google, there's likely to be an up-tick in Linux as the preferred operating system family, so please let's see TheBrain getting back on that bandwagon. It shouldn't be hard, as someone has already observed, given it's available for Android, which is a close cousin of Linux.
