I want to run certain applications that are Windows only, and I wanted to know if there is any sand boxing as most of the programs that are Windows only tend to be invasive. I know VMs are another option but there is usually a performance toll with that and I am running a low to mid range laptop

Somehow i never managed to get anything running on it... I'll have to give it another try. I've always used Lutris.

You need to install the right dependencies, namely the directx & and .net

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
