what do you do if you need to run an app thats windows exclusive? wine?

I still have a 2nd drive with windows on it for davinci because things don't quite work right in the linux version.

I'm using Bottles for the 1 game I play seriously and it was the only thing keeping windows as my daily driver. it's been almost a month without booting into windows now.

The real secret is to dual boot and don't inconvenience yourself. Nothing will turn you off linux more than having limited time to do something specific and needing to spend it all compiling something that just fucking works out of the box on windows.

Use the right tool for the right job and eventually you'll realize how bad a tool windows has actually become.
