What's your experience?

Most of the time? It's been fine when I use Proton + Steam (on Experimental). Not everyone likes Steam though and it is a bit of a pain to use Proton outside of it. Wine itself is alright but I really hate wineprefixes. Why can't it be some sort of kernel-layer where it translates Windows shit into Linux natively as if every dll was made into a so? Why do I gotta have a fake windows drive with fake mounting?

I don't usually run normal applications on Wine. The majority of my use comes with games, old and new.

For games it's alright, I'd say. A lot of programs aren't worth the headache in my opinion so I just run them on a windows VM.

it struggles with 4k sometimes, but other than that it's fine

A VM is easier? You wait for however long the Windows bloat loads up for and to do what? Open a special file? I may have shat on wineprefixes but I'd find setting those up quicker in the long run than a VM IMHO. It's also less resource intensive.

Mainly for things I can't for the life of me get to work correctly in wine. A recent example was trying to do the bitrec patches for FO4. I might just be dumb but I couldn't get it to work with powershell, so I just did the patches in the VM and transferred it back.

I guess that does make sense. I've got my own VM just in case but I've found myself using it less and less, especially within the last decade.
