Damn that sounds like bad luck to be honest. Or maybe the opposite -- I got very lucky and the apps I used were almost all compatible.
Off the top of my head, I've gotten:
- Ableton Live 10
- FL Studio 20
- A lot of popular Windows games
To work without any bugs (Borderlands 3 had a bug loading an asset once)
The one program I couldn't get working with WINE was Studio One 5.
Ableton and FL Studio are multi-GB programs with dozens of .dll's, really complex -- and all I had to do was:
wine <installer-name>.exe
Then click through them
So yeah it could just be a crapshoot as far as what works. Maybe it winds up that a lot of the apps you personally use/need don't run at all, which would really suck =/
But WINE sees constant improvement, including contribution from Valve who have a vested interest in Proton for running games. Not to be cliche, but it's always improving.
(I've never used the paid Codeweavers product which is supposedly better, so can't comment on that one. Maybe someone else can chime in with recent experience if they have?)
