Exactly what I was wondering. I main Linux since 2019. A buddy of mine sent me a unity demo game that he made ( basically a hello world ). I just did wine hello-world.exe and it ran just fine ( auto downloaded .net runtimes and everything ).
I don’t expect everything to run flawlessly, but wine has come a long way. Especially with valve support and investment into proton for gaming.

Good luck getting support for commercial software if you’re running it under wine.

Oh I didn’t realize that wine was so bad at supporting Windows applications. I’m not a frequent user of it so I just knew it as a “replacement” for windows apps.

It’s not that wine is bad at supporting Windows appliances necessarily. If you (or your company) buys software that supports some versions of Windows and you open a support ticket with some issue running in Linux under wine, that’s a ticket that will likely be closed fast as an unsupported configuration.
