Running a pre trained model is much cheaper than training one. But I’d imagine in this case you’ll be sending it over to Microsoft Servers, so they can keep track of everything you ever search so they can better advertise to you.
Lately ive noticed that i was wanting to do certain things on Windows that just seemed much easier and more intuitive on Linux, based in the OS specific solutions i would see to problems i encountered. And i was more frequently using software where Windows support seemed like an after thought....
I mean for most Linux derivatives, getting SSH setup for outgoing connections is usually install the openssh package from your distros repos, though I imagine many preinstall it, no reboot should be necessary, and you just type ssh user@hostname into a terminal to connect to the remote ssh server to access stuff on that computer. There shouldn’t be a need to reboot for installing app that’s not a service.
Wanting to enable ssh access to the computer you are using so a remote client can connect to it? Well the same openssh package should have come with sshd which acts as the server to allow remote ssh client to connect. It’d probably need enabling (so it’s run automatically on boot) and starting (so you don’t have to reboot to have it going), on distributions using systemd that’s usually just systemctl enable sshd.service (which makes sure the sshd daemon will be started on next boot) followed by systemctl start sshd.service to start it immediately so it’s running straight away, (or systemctl enable sshd.service --now to roll both steps into one).
I’d just point out, for running an executable, wine isn’t JITting anything at least as far as I’m aware. They’ve implemented the code necessary to read .exe files and link them, and written replacements libraries for typical windows DLLs, that are implemented using typical Linux/POSIX functions. But since, in most cases, Linux and windows runs on the same target CPU instructions set most of the windows code is runnable mostly as is, with some minor shim code when jumping between Linux calling conventions to windows calling conventions and back again.
Of course, this may be different when wine isn’t running on the same target CPU as the windows executable. Then there might be JITing involved. But I’ve never tested wine in such a situation, thoughI’d expect wine to just not work in that case.
I started using Linux many moons ago when the LAMP stack was common for web development. (Linux, Apache, Mysql, PHP). But that was only on servers. It’s only in the last couple of years I’ve switched to seriously using Linux on the Desktop. I finally got fed up of Microsoft writing software as if using their OS meant they owned my machine and they could do what they liked with it. So I’ve switched. While windows still sits on a partition due to a couple of games, I find I’m going months without needing to touch it. I suspect I’ll be rid of windows entirely in the near future.
I ran Manjaro Linux as my daily driver a few years ago but slowly phased it out for Windows for some reason, and I’m finally back using Linux (currently Linux Mint). I gotta say, I don’t know why I ever switched back to Windows. There’s just so much freedom Linux gives you right off the bat that Windows is just plain...
While Nvidia isn’t as great on Linux as other cards. It generally works. It’s pretty much fine on Xorg, slowly getting there with Wayland. At least using Nvidia with Hyprland which wlroots based Wayland compositor worked for most cases.
I mean having control over everything also means you have control to not exercise control. Android as a phone OS, depending on what the phone manufacturer has changed, has pretty sane defaults. I can’t say I’ve ever seen the need to switch to iPhones. My Android phone works excellently as a phone.

I feel like breaking my windows install was a rite of passage

what caused you to get into Linux?
What caused you to get into it, are you an evangel and are you obsessed?
