  I see it's being rated Platinum on winehq?

    There are a lot of people who have biases against using non-native apps on Linux, weirdly. I've run into this even with highly technical people, who just won't believe that something under wine can be just as good (certainly as far as a person can tell) as a native app, and refuse to use them. Usually I end up having to find them a native alternative.

      If it is a business scenario, in my experience it is typically because of support contracts as opposed to just "does it work or not". For example, QuickBooks may run just fine with Wine (not sure, haven't checked), but it would forfeit your ability to access QuickBooks Support personnel. For businesses without a dedicated IT department (or just a small one), this may be a deal breaker.

    I looked it up, and you are taking about a 5 year outdated version. I'm not opposed to trying it, I just would prefer to spend my time not messing around. The other wrench is that we arent just using Catia, we are using Visual Studio and communicating via COM to make macros, Visual Studio is nice because it has an integrated COM debugger. I got another... I need to run a Catia license server too. Just to clarify, Fedora is the greatest OS of all time. I would love to use it 100% of the time. Windows is utter trash in comparison.
