    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 applications 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.
