Collabora, the company responsible for developing Wine's Wayland driver and getting it into Wine proper, has just published Wine on Wayland: A year in review (and a look ahead).
Hilariously, as I dual boot, a bunch of games I play get higher framerates on Linux via Proton (i.e. PEs/EXEs/DLLs through Wine) than on Windows as my Windows install is barebones as I only use it for gaming. Go figure?!
Probably, most of the time, but for work I need a completely different set of software to just work. Trying to get a lot of my scripts, libraries and tools working on Windows is such an exercise in frustration that it’s not worth the bother.
It’s actually 1000x easier to get Windows software working on Linux than Linux software working on Windows.
Sure, but if you’re so keen on being able to do things that only work on Linux, then even with WSL and all the other workarounds, it’s just a bit of a pain in the arse not to just use Linux directly, isn’t it?
That’s what I meant. Software which is made to run on Windows will probably work best when run on Windows, right?

Tried WSL? It is decent.

Point taken.
Well, sometimes at least.
