This is why you don't duel boot. If Windows can't play nice with others it doesn't get to exist at all. Proton+Steam means there is never a reason to run windows at all. "But I need some non-game windows applications." K. Proton is able to reliably run games in a library of tens of thousands of games with all kinds of bad programming and obscure hardware use. It's a standard for being able to run windows apps in linux that is going to cover any other application you have.

There's definitely software that uses parts of the windows API that games don't touch. And doesn't work properly on Wine. I keep a windows install around just for using an analysis software for some lab equipment that refuses to start in wine.

Things like CAD software are also a struggle, though the latest wine seems to have resolved a number of graphics issues with getting PTC Creo to properly use the nvapi and nvidia graphics drivers through wine.

While wine is amazing, plenty of things don't work with it. Usually you don't need them, but if you do, you do
