At this point, any programs that won't work in Wine either have a component that cannot be run in Linux (kernel level anti-cheat for example) or has a DRM/execution stack that enforces Windows use (ie Abobe.) Most of my Windows emulation is gaming, and I've managed to get Fitgirl installers and even cracks/updates to run through Wine and Proton. My opinion only: At this point any program that won't run on Linux is intentional, either by design, or by neglect.

    Yes, exactly. My issues are with the Adobe suite, Affinity and Microsoft Office.

    Yup, Adobe and Microsoft def a no-go. Especially Outlook.

    For MS, the o365 web apps work as fine as they do on windows. Outlook is nearly at parity with the windows app. (I think they're slowly making the windows apps web under the hood)

    Adobe has to be pre creativecloud

    You can run a windows VM, then use remote-desktop but it completely defeats the purpose unless you're just trying to edge into privacy.
