There are actually only two kinds of windows apps that don't run on Linux: Those made not to run on Linux on purpose, and those that were made by so bad programmers that you'll be amazed how fast the "fixme" messages scroll in the terminal window from which you started wine. I'm working with one of the latter, and I'm happy that I just finished the last project with it. This piece of software is plain shit. And it looks like they don't intend to fix their shit.

It's not exactly on purpose, but Wine is still missing a lot of hardware level translation, like native SATA for example, so... 🤷.

I'm not talking about limits in low-level hardware support. I'm talking e.g. about games with anti-cheating software or productivity software with invasive license managers that are made not to run under anything but Windows.
