Similar issue, I'm bound by programs that only seem to work on Windows.
For me, it's heavily modded Skyrim and Fallout 4. Something about linux seems to break skse/enb and after a few hours trying to debug it, I got nowhere.
Steam in-home streaming might help you out for the odd game that is only works in Windows for you. You have a Windows machine with the game installed/setup, and that gets streamed to the computer of your choice over your LAN. A few of my buddies use it to play computer games on their TVs when they don't feel like sitting at their desk.
Plugins should be easy to use and pretty painless thanks to yabridge. Also just running reaper fully on wine is fine option with a ñn asio bridge to JACK. I tried it once just to play around and was impressed at how easy and performant was. Shame in the maschine hardware, this is the only thing I could find about that https://github.com/wrl/maschine.rs I also got triggered by win11 to switch to Linux half a year ago and couldn't be happier on endeavour os, no problems so far on the music production side,even with heavy drm'd plug ins. Work flow s also much better, as I can run higher sample count with lower latency than windows thanks to pipewire.
I've never had a VST not work on Linux through WINE and a bridge. Native Instruments plugins are a bit of a pain due to Native Access, but it's still possible to get running. Serum works, but requires a DLL bypass. Most Windows-only DAWs also work via WINE, but I'd recommend checking out Bitwig.
Also check out darktable instead of Lightroom. I haven't used either, but I hear darktable is a good replacement.
Not sure about Maschine hardware since I don't own any.
