But would you want to run these Win32 software on Linux for daily use? I don't.

Depends on what task you're doing, and to a certain extent how you prefer to do it. For example sure there's plenty of ways to tag/rename media files, but I've yet to find something that matches the power of Mp3tag in a GUI under linux.

Have you tried kid3 (https://kid3.kde.org)? It has both a GUI and a CLI.

From a quick glance at the feature lists it looks quite comparable.

Gamers have no other option, and thanks Valve, game studios have no reasons left to bother with native Linux clients.

Just target Windows, business as usual, and let Valve do the hard work.

But they do test their Windows games on Linux now and fix issues as needed. I read that CDProjekt does that, at least.

How many game studios were bothering with native Linux clients before Proton became known?

Well, not having Proton definitely didn't work to grow gaming on Linux.

Maybe Valve can play the reverse switcheroo out of Microsoft's playbook and, once enough people are on Linux, force the developers' hand by not supporting Proton anymore.

For making music as much as I love the free audio ecosystem there's some very unique audio plugins with specific sounds that will never be ported. Thankfully bridging with wine works fairly well nowadays.

I knew a guy whose main editor for his day to day was Notepad++ running in Wine.

I use some cool ham radio software, a couple SDR applications, and a lithophane generator for my 3d printer. It all works great, if you have a cool utility or piece of software, why wouldn't you want to?
