From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Have you checked out winapps? https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps/
I think it came up during my initial search a year or so ago. For whatever reason I decided it wasn't the way to go. I know solidworks supposedly has lots of issues running through programs like wine and proton. The games I play are only Windows-only due to things like anti-cheat bullshit.
