Linux compatibility question?
Are there any major pitfalls when trying to open files you used in Linux on windows machines? I’m talking about Word Processors, pictures, etc. Also, what common software don’t work with Linux? When you use Wine to open software, does it just display windows within a Linux window so you can use a microsoft app?

Most Linux popular applications save files in Windows-readable format.
When you use Wine, you are NOT running the Windows OS at all. You are running programs designed to run under Windows within Linux in Emulation Mode.
