... and on windows, I did not try it with MS Word, but there is a well -
working emulator basiliskII, that allows you to run macos on pcs.

ACK.

Furthermore, the availability of open source programs for windows can
help to migrate to linux. IMHO it is much easier to replace programs
step by step than to replace everything at once. When all the important
applications are replaced by free ones, you can easily change to linux.

Another possibility would be "windows on linux": you can use wine to
emulate Windows, or even worse use a real Windows inside your linux
system. This solution would be very slow, perhaps also unstable. People
would possibly think of linux as an slow an unstable operating system.
