Yes but it’s relative. I have 800 users right here that doesn’t use any of that stuff. Just saying it’s not really a block for 99% of users because all they do is surf the web and play games.
Over a hundred million people use Autodesk products; Bentley systems is around the same size. Entire essential industries are built on these software. Pinning that all on 1% is disingenuous.
My overall point is that until Linux or the software developers do something about the incompatibility/nonsupport, Windows is here to stay. Some of us have no choice.
Exactly what I was wondering. I main Linux since 2019. A buddy of mine sent me a unity demo game that he made ( basically a hello world ). I just did wine hello-world.exe and it ran just fine ( auto downloaded .net runtimes and everything ).
I don’t expect everything to run flawlessly, but wine has come a long way. Especially with valve support and investment into proton for gaming.
When you’re working on enterprise level stuff, it can be difficult to run any software that you want. There are layers upon layers of accountability that are needed for legal purposes.

Does Wine not work for those tools?
