  The issue with that setup is that it takes a lot more to get it to work, and its never a guarantee. I used to run Solidworks under Wine and it took some researching to setup. Proton has gotten better, but when a game releases, its never really a guarantee that it will work right out of a box. Some of the games that are 4 years old at this point are still silver. Whereas if you go with Windows and WSL2, everything just works with a lot less setup. WSL2 also has an x server now, which means graphical applications work under Windows. For laptops, linux is the way to go because of i3wm, nothing as good as that exists for mac or windows, and because they are more resource constrained, you can do more tinkering and disable a bunch of things to speed up the system. For desktops however, the only reason I want linux is to do development, which pretty much only requires a file system and a linux terminal, which WSL2 with VSCode Remote SSH extension provides fully.
