Yeah I know, but it's a lot better than 15 years ago. I run professional grade, paid for and licensed, video editing software. Native Linux support.
I don't need all that crazy excel wizard crap so I'm good with libreoffice.
There's one game I haven't attempted to run in a long time on Linux which may work just fine now for all I know, but the rest of my stuff works great these days.
I realize the alternatives to some programs are not always that great but they can sometimes get the job done decently enough
Better for sure, but still no meaningful/full-featured CAD tools on Linux. No "works on Linux" in quotes, nothing at all.
Yeah, I don't do cad so I have no knowledge of that.
None of that stuff works with wine I guess?
Not really. I've gotten one to work but it was dogshit. Very complex software doing lots of geometric computation, very resource intensive and will leverage all the GPU you give it. If you can get it to "run" in wine, even if the driver compatibility is perfect which it's not, every hiccup will be disruptive (like surfaces failing to render).
