I really hope the work Valve is doing with Proton will help to get Office (no, the browser versions aren't a substitute), Adobe software and Touchdesigner working on Linux. I don't game, and would love to switch to Linux but I need those apps to work on it.

Microsoft could at least stop actively trying to break O365 on Wine, which I believe it is doing. I have heard rumors (albeit unsourced ones) that MS is trying to bring Outlook over first.

  Outlook is a progressive webapp now, so that makes some sense.

    Outlook has a PWA, but the thick client is still here and will be for awhile to keep legacy plugin infrastructure running.

I think that's quite unlikely, most games use a fairly small subset of the Windows APIs, if non-game applications currently don't work then it's unlikely that the situation for those applications will be improved by better game compatibility.

Doesn't all of that stuff have great Wine ratings?
