Why not? The github page even says it will work with wine. I've not played ED for a long time. But, I am sure I had EDDiscovery at least working with it in linux a few years ago. Other games like WoW I have external tools that interface with it working fine, some within the same wine environment, some even external. You just need to make sure the drive is mapped (you can always go via the Z: drive too) where the app expects it.
From my experience, I have steam working and pretty much every game I want to play has worked. I don't play games with kernel anti-cheat even in windows, so I'm not missing anything there. Battle net runs fine even with ray-traced shadows in wow. Pretty much everything else I need works. The only things I miss are the games that are part of XBOX/Windows store, but that's hardly Linux's fault. Maybe visual studio too. But I do have the OSS "Code" to cover most I did in VS so..
I have dual boot, I've not used it to go to windows in weeks. Almost everything just works fine.
