Linux is honestly great, literally the only things holding it back is programs supporting it. I'm painfully tied to a select few windows programs for work and hobbies, Wine tries its best but programs need to start supporting linux before proper adoption can kick off.

I have found that steam proton is a powerful wine machine. I'm not sure if it would help with any of the programs you are trying to run as it does have limits, but I've been shoving a ton of .exe files into steam and they usually work flawlessly.

i like using bottles or lutris for that, you can change wine versions and parameters easier in case something doesn't work.

Lutris with wine-ge has made some things work for me that didn't work with plain wine. So definitely worth it to try.
