At this point, and given the current state of Proton (👍) and the current state of Windows (👎), the question should be, "Does the new version of Wine run Windows apps better than Windows?"

    With some apps/games it definitely feels like it does. Would love to see someone dedicated do proper Wine vs windows benchmarks!

    Proton works nicely in steam

    Non steam games is an entirely different complicated issue (for some games)

    You can download Proton for use outside of Steam, I use it in Lutris and Bottles pretty regularly. Also, you should be able to get just about anything to run just as well in Bottles or Lutris as it will in steam, but I will admit it can take some tinkering with some games or software and there is a much easier option: Add "non-steam game" in Steam library and run whatever program you need through Steam anyway.
